Clean install activates automatically just fine without key. Indeed risky, but with the way things are going @ Microsoft I personally wouldn't sweat it. Worst comes to worst you can always just activate Windows 10 using MTK. Until then I'll enjoy the free ride.

There will no new versions of Windows from now on. This is the last Windows release. MS will keep updating this Windows from now on. This is what is meant by "Windows as a service".
Nah!, don't do either, both offer too much features over Home and Education will show a watermark, even if activated (by design).

Thought about that You got me there --- thought of something similar like with @Krutonium's Windows 10 Login Background Changer every time you you run an update, it would reset the wallpaper back to default because of the file integrity check that windows update performs Im guessing the reason is because it's able to tell that the ownership of the file was tampered with. If it was modified and had default permissions I'm sure it wouldn't catch anything
#1. Best would be to do in RAM, without tampering the file. #2. Supersedes #1. since a true 'Pirate' would opt for the biggest SKU fitting his needs, so either Pro or Ent. #3. Edu......wut?
