Windows 10: Using pirate copy with legitimate key.

I have purchased a Lenovo thinkpad with a preinstalled win10, (and paid extra for the PRO version). Though now I reallize this is a horrible version. I'll skip the parts like that the control panel items are just illogically placed and impossible to find.


The worst part is the preinstalled spam like games from winstore, xbox and other waste, which i spend time hacking out just to find out that after another update (which is now mandatory and you have to get into registry/group policies to turn off) everything rolled back and i have to remove everything again.


I think i've had enough. I want to be in 100% control of services that run on my machine.


So aside from Linux, I have found "optimized" pirate versions of Win 10. Is it legal to use pirate version of WIN 10 with a real purchased key? If not, which specific laws are violated if I do this?

:)

Downgrading from a pirated Windows OS

You've already mangled your existing operating system by upgrading to a pirated version of Windows 10. Use your Windows 8.1 disk to do a new installation of your original Windows 8.1 operating system. If you have saved the product key from your original Windows 8.1 operating system, then use that product key again to install Windows 8.1.

You can downgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 8, by following the instructions in the answers to this question: How can I downgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 8?. Why not downgrade the pirated Windows 10 to Windows 8 instead and then change the product key and upgrade legally back to Windows 10? There are two reasons for not doing it this way:

1. Your new Windows 10 can inherit problems from the pirated version of Windows 10.
   
2. It's a two-step process to install Windows 8.1 and upgrade to Windows 10 instead of a four-step cumulative history: Windows 8.1 -> pirated Windows 10 -> downgrade pirated Windows 10 to Windows 8.1 -> upgrade to Windows 10. Even though the two-step method doesn't save any time, it still eliminates two unnecessary steps.
