You might not be up to date on how this works.
The OS installation images come from Microsoft. They're the same amount of malware as the OS that comes preinstalled on your laptop. Probably a tad less, depending on the brand.
So instead of downloading the OS, you're downloading a patching executable? How do you trust this? Is it open source and auditable? Otherwise you're opening yourself up to the same concerns.
No, you download a powershell script which computes a couple of strings and calls a couple of commands. The code is not obfuscated.
What about the crack executable?
It's free and open-source.
and hosted on github
