Download the iso and install home. It won't stop you, ask for a key, or attempt to activate later. It just installs, runs, and spies happily.

But, yes, I suppose that you're supposed to pay for it, but they don't seem to care that much, if at all.

I agree that Windows Pro is a slightly better experience than Windows Home, but the right Linux distro for you is where it's at. I usually recommend Mint for newcomers, and not one has had issues (beyond the expected "this looks different" comments). I've installed Elementary for one person who came from a life of Mac, and she dove right in with almost no hiccups. Know your audience, I guess is the lesson here lol

If we want to get even more pedantic (which I thoroughly enjoy lol), we can even point out that Nixon used the phrase "last version of windows" to mean the "latest version" or "the last version to have been released to date".

This is in a similar grammatical sense as staying "last week" or "last Wednesday". Last week wasn't the last week to have ever existed. Last Wednesday wasn't the last Wednesday to have ever existed, either. And windows 10 wasn't the last windows version to ever be released... it was just the latest (or, "last") version as of the time Nixon said it.

What's the conversion ratio of Microsoft Points to Schrute Bucks?

Once enabled as your PC's backup solution provider from the settings miniapp, it will backup the data on the PC. So, you can't only enable it.

Windows Homs is free, too.

But here's the thing that many people (not you) don't understand. Windows Home is free, as in beer. Linux is free, as in speech, AND free, as in beer.

I didn't realize they provide security update to Fedora lol

That was my approach until about 3 weeks ago. I hope something good happens soon.

Same here. Except I didn't get a tablet. Just waiting for a CyanogenMod-style group to get this going. I wish I had the knowhow.
