Non-genuine Windows Copy¶

A non-genuine Windows copy refers to an unauthorized or pirated version of Windows that lacks a valid product key or license. It has not been properly activated through legitimate channels. Using non-genuine copies of Windows can lead to legal and security issues, as well as missing out on updates and support.
