MAS scripts should be safe, but what about Windows iso you can download from MASSGRAVE website (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I recently asked if MAS was save to activate windows, it turns out it was as I hoped.

However, I've one last doubt: I downloaded the iso from MASSGRAVE (it-it_windows_10_consumer_editions_version_22h2_updated_may_2024_x64_dvd_49ddadb6.iso) and I installed that already.

Also, I logged in my accounts and used sensible passwords already, should I be worried about this? (I ask because some pirates said the ISO should have been downloaded from Microsoft website :/ ).

You can always download the ISO from Microsoft's site. Just spoof your User Agent's OS to Linux and it will automatically redirect you to a Windows ISO download page.

Wait really? What's the site, just go to microsoft.com or something with linux and it redirects you? That's hilariously petty but also useful lmao.

Specifically the OS download links. If you're running Windows, it'll link you into the media creation tool instead however since this tool is a Windows Executable it'll not work on Linux by default, so they link to ISO files instead.
