    It used to be Microsoft Toolkit, idk what happened to it?

    Is it just as simple as installing the ESD windows now?

    Thanks

    There is nothing easier in the world than installing and activating Windows 10. This has been done for about 5 years now and nothing has changed. So use the method that works best for you. Everything works as they have worked all these 5 years.
    But one thing You must know - esd is not the version, but method how Microsoft encrypts its software amd .esd is file extension of such a files.

    I download the ISO & use a Windows 7 (legal) key to activate.

    I got myself a legit key. Good thing for the future I guess. Imo not a bad decision. You can get a key pretty cheap so why not?! Always was like KMS and all that stuff but don't want that anymore.

    I'm not a pirate anymore. I'm getting too old for that. ;D
