Default Consensus on Windows 10?

Back in about 2009-2010, I tried an experiment. I replaced the
genuine COA key on one PC with a 'self-registering' method of
activation that doesn't involve MS. By early 2012 I was
sufficiently satisfied that such a method had no ill effects, so
I replicated the method across the rest of my PCs, except for the
one 8.x laptop that I sometimes use for work. I have genuine keys
for everything, but I no longer use them. Now my 'Genuine' status
is determined locally, not by MS.


This machine - secondhand - turns out to have an activator system
that doesn't involve calling MSFT; KMSpico. Is that the kind of
thing you mean?

Similar, yes.
