Have there ever been reports of MAS pirated Windows 10 being unsafe, stealing passwords etc.? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I'm installing windows 10 right now and even though it's not required to activate it, I'd rather do it until I can.

I've googled quite a bit about it and there's no complaints, but I'd like an additional confirmation by the piracy community here.

I appreciate any opinion

MAS is open-source meaning anyone with the skill can verify what the powershell code does. This does not mean it's absolutely safe and trustworthy but does give it a big plus.

(the way I understand it is that) It also uses a loophole in the free upgrades from older win versions to 10/11 to get you a valid license from Windoze servers directly - it is not a keygen or cracker.

So, I will vouch for MASgrave but care has to be taken to download it from the official site/repository.

windows 10 iso are not available for download, so I used the one from MASgrave, dunno if I did something wrong. By the way, apparently my notebook had a HW license already lol

windows 10 iso are not available for download

You mean this isn't available to download; https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10ISO

Or something else?

mhh, I already installed everything downloading from MASgrave website, do you think those ISO are dangerous? This is version it-it_windows_10_consumer_editions_version_22h2_updated_may_2024_x64_dvd_49ddadb6.iso (Windows 10 consumer 22H2 Italian)
