Just to add, using tools like KMSAuto can actually mess with your system files and trigger Windows Defender or other antivirus programs because of the way they work. Microsoft could also block future updates or features if your activation isn’t genuine, and it might even be harder to upgrade or get support. If the cost is an issue, sometimes Microsoft offers lower-cost or even free versions for students, nonprofits, or through workplace programs-definitely check if you have options like that first!
