Hi, I've done a clean install on my son's laptop as it was no longer bootable and couldn't do the upgrade thing. I installed it without a serial and I'm just wondering what restrictions apply to an unactivated copy.
From what users have said so far, just a watermark (that you always see, unless in a full screen videogame or whatnot) and cannot Personalize (change wallpaper/taskbar colors)
Mine isn't activated The watermark shows up only sometimes on the background, I can personalise whatever I like, and it just says it's not activated in settings Edit: Odd, I can't now. Yet I already have changed the lock screen, background and taskbar colours. Did this only come into effect midnight last night? Edit2: Actually, it still works, just for a certain time after each restart, then it realises and locks up again.
Have you noticed that some of the Universal apps do not work? http:// forums . mydigitallife.net/threads/62943-Using-Windows-10-without-activation
