I guess when he said pirated copies he meant those ISO bundles made and available. This is a risk you face anytime you download a software from no so legit places. But you can download the ISO your self and set things up by your own. License process is pretty much like in Windows Servers. You can re arm the use it for 3 times or so. But there are ways to get around it.

Exactly, that is how I understood the pirated copies to be too.

For now I'm looking away from Windows Enterprise as it's too complicated to install.  I'm not interested in chasing after a KMS key that Microsoft hasn't intended for me to have.  I don't like the idea of 180 days either.  What I'm leaning towards now is to get a legitimate Windows 10 through the free upgrade and to see whether through powershell I can learn how to get rid of all of the bloatware that is wearing my laptop down.  So that's probably what my next project will be with my Thinkpad X201.  To upgrade to Windows 10 Professional again, and then to see whether I can create a Windows "light" that my old laptop can work with. Focus will also be to find a way to get an Update "light" system through power shell tweaks.  Here's a list of the things that some of the Geeks out there typically aim at getting rid off:

I don't intend to do it as lethally, and plan to do it piece by piece starting with the ones that are right in my face when I start Windows 10 Prof for the first time.
