Microsoft actually doesn't care about your pirated Windows 11, despite the panic online

Some reports claim Microsoft's new TPM rule ends pirated Windows activation. It doesn't. Here's what KMS Hardware-Secured changes instead.

    IMO pirating Windows 11 is still a terrible idea, and I say that as somebody who pirated 10 Enterprise LTSC for about a decade.

    Check this out:

    The FBI used a Microsoft device identifier, dubbed GDID, to link a teenager to a hack attributed to Scattered Spider, raising privacy red flags about Windows’ surveillance capabilities.

    So if you use Windows 11, especially an unlicensed copy, they know who you are, they know where you connect to, they know what you’re doing.
