Although I dislike systemd, I'll take it over Microsoft's activation hell,
which I am currently embroiled in on a friend's computer that needed to
be reloaded. MS's promise that the Windows 10 "digital license" would be
honored if the OS needed to be reinstalled turns out to be just another
Big Lie.

Nonsense. According to a later post of yours, the computer in
question has a Win7 licence. Thus installing win10 and expecting it
to be activated is fruitless.
