    Is it legal to share modified windows os if it's free

    Hello, this is Emily.

    No, it is not legal to share modified versions of Windows OS, even if it is free. Microsoft's End User License Agreement (EULA) prohibits the modification and distribution of their software without their permission. It is important to respect intellectual property rights and follow the terms of the EULA. If you have already distributed modified versions of Windows OS, it is recommended that you stop doing so immediately.

    You might hear about others doing so, but that's usually for OEMs who already have permission to do so to include their utility tools for example, on Windows installed on their devices, or organization admin users, to include some group policy and users configuration to deploy withint their own business.
