My school has "free" visual studios windows and shit from microsoft using dreamspark...

My school has "free" visual studios windows and shit from microsoft using dreamspark, should i bit the bullet and use those versions the school gives and its product keys or should i stick to what i have? I run visual studio community (which i still almost don't use compared to Code) and a random Windows 10 installation with Kmspico. I am afraid that by using the product key for Windows the school/microsoft could somehow spy me even more.

You speak like a retarded person so I am not surprised that you made such a retarded question.

why don't you just look up the differences between the paid and community for visual studio?

if its mandatory to have one, then get it
either way you get spied by both the free(dreamspark) and the community version

If you dont know the difference you don't need a paid version

Yeah but now i am a literally who to Microsoft right now but if i use the key that my school gives me for Windows they could link the activity from that copy of windows to me right

M$ already spies on you regardless of the key.
Author of that activation software also spies on you for which I'd be worried the most since Microsoft will likely only collect your data (am not saying this is harmless) but someone who designed that cracker software is 99% ensured a carder or sells the data to carders and other criminals.
Your school won't be able to spy on you through you using that key.

>Your school won't be able to spy on you through you using that key.
For sure about that? Lets say i download a a billion Udemy tutorials or other "illegal" things would that have no consequences with my school? Can't Microsoft say to them

>hey this fucking is doing . Have a nice day.

Thats the thing i am scared about

you dont expect much of kmspico desu
idk if the key will help M$ spy on you more(or the school maybe) since its just a key and it basically depend on what application you're using, since afaik keys are harmless(ish)

or are you worried that they will found out that you use pirated windows?

don't get sucked into it, they offer heavily discounted versions to students purely to get people into their ecosystem early

isn't that the same thing as getting an education license for windows?

>or are you worried that they will found out that you use pirated windows?

Would they even care about it?

idk but winshill will find a way

Bro you are using Microsoft's product (Windows) without a license, e.g. fuck em for money. But they won't report you for it and instead will tell your school you downloaded some stuff. Don't be an idiot pls.

>you dont expect much of kmspico desu
What do you mean? All software of that sort is a spyware or you think someone would invest their time and bring you that software (potentially jeopardizing to end up in jail) just for fucking lulz?

>Bro you are using Microsoft's product (Windows) without a license, e.g. fuck em for money. But they won't report you for it and instead will tell your school you downloaded some stuff

Difference being right now they don't know the guy using this windows without the license is the same guy that goes to "that" school. but when i activate my next windows installation with the school key they will know ok this is the guy from "that" school and he does this and this on his PC

They do, but if you're going into C++ or C# you will need to know Visual Studio.

There are close to zero C++ jobs where it is acceptable to only know CodeBlocks/eclipse/similar freetard software

>you will need to know Visual Studio
Good thing Community is free

>Using windows
Are you asking for the NSA to install a spy camera in your house user?

>Difference being right now they don't know the guy using this windows without the license
If they had that mindset it would be trivial to doxx that guy trust me. Or massive report fags who use illegal windows activators. They don't care unless you do really shady things and even after that they don't.

>but when i activate my next windows installation with the school key they will know ok this is the guy from "that" school and he does this and this on his PC
Just applying your logic... Did you ever entered your details such as your name, address etc? Do you use your email to communicate with "that" school? Well if any of these is positive you're screwed and I am not saying the data isn't collected and monitored, in fact I would bet Microsoft already knows anything or could discover it had they wanted to do so.
Windows is used by more than billion users and there are literal criminals, child porne sellers, drug dealers etc but M$ gives no flying f and now they will doxx and trace some autist and report him to their school. Well if you believe this just fucking install gentoo cuz Windows is a massive spyware which turns to be one of its tradeoffs.

>" "free" "

Just save the keys for your next build. Sounds like your current way works, what's the advantage of switching?

Just get it user. I am a Linux user, but getting win 10 education and visual studio enterprise for free was worth it. Maybe you'll need them one day. Windows is spying on you anyways.
