Apparently you can activate Windows using this: https://github.com/massgravel/Microsoft-Activation-Scripts
(Stolen from elsewhere, have not tried myself, might be legally dubious)
Half/most/all Chinese mini PCs on Amazon use this method. Yes, it works.
And then it works as a valid license on future reinstalls without needing to run the activation script, too.
This is how I always do it.
Doesn’t Microsoft own GitHub now? This is actually very funny.
