What happens if I never activate Windows? - eviltoast

I am going to eventually use Linux (although need help with a good option for gaming and video library use), but I was curious how long I could use Windows unregistered for? What are the limitations of it not registered?

    Nothing as far as I’ve seen. It shows the “activate windows” nagging at the bottom right, but you learn to ignore it and after a while you don’t even notice it anymore.

    Source: Installed windows 10 a few years back solely for the purpose of playing GTA5. Once done I didn’t boot windows until I was going to try RDR2 last year. Still worked fine.
