Last night I decided to build a computer

Custom built is better than giving Bill Gates money, no seriously I got all my parts from thrift-stores/landfills/friends/family and my PC has 1 Terrabyte harddrive over 60 gigs of ram (or something I can't remember from when I built it.) A newer graphics card, flatscreen and Ubuntu as the OS. IT'S DAMN FAST BABY.

@DoctorGenesis

If you just want a regular old computer there's not much difference between the cost of buying versus building. But if you want a higher end machine for gaming or video editing it's cheaper to build than buy and it's easier to customize.

I'm painfully uninformed about this kind of stuff, but isn't the newest Windows free to anyone who had the previous version? Even if it was pirated?

In that case, couldn't you shove a pirated copy of windows on there, and then upgrade to the new jam?

And then, you know, delete the spyware.

Or they could use the media creation tool and burn it to a disk like they're supposed to do, provided they have a computer with Windows 8 or 10 on it they can use to download the media creation tool.

OR

I could just use the copy of Windows 8.1 that I already own

Which I did mention earlier.
