Options for 'Fixing' A Pirated Copy of Windows

Posted by ryuzaki0 on

PunkOfLinux writes "My parents are running a pirated copy of windows that my mom received from a teacher at school. My parents want to go legit, and buy a copy of Windows, but they are afraid of deleting everything and having to reinstall all their programs.
