Hi guys,

i have been impressed by this thing:

with any cloning software, you can have free copies of windows.

I know that that's the way it should be, but is surely a kinda silly thing... They make you pay for the OS, just the one-time installation disk, but you don't need it anymore, you can actually clone the entire hdd...

rig: i7 4770k @4.1Ghz (delidded), Corsair Vengeance 8GB 1600Mhz, ROG Maximus VI Hero, Noctua NH-D14, EVGA GTX980SC, Samsung 850 EVO 500GB, Corsair SF600, self-built wooden Case, CoolerMaster QuickFire TK, Logitech G502, Blue Yeti, BenQ GW2760HS

No because then your would have to have two different keys.

If you want the OS you can download an ISO for free, no need to pay for a disk. But the thing that is worth the money is the key, which you cannot use on tho computers at once.
