And what would you do on that other planet without Internet and stuck with Microsoft Windows and no way to activate your OEM license ? At least Linux has nice manual pages to read in the main time off-line 😄
I have an unactivated windows computer I’ve been using for 3 years, it works fine and even gets updates it just says “activate windows” in the corner of the screen.
I believe you can simply leave it unregistered and it’ll still work indefinitely. Plus you aren’t getting updates forced down your throat, since you’re not connected to the internet.

Haha touché
Start downloading all source codes to prep for when that happens. That way, you at least have a way to find out.

It used to be it also wouldn’t let you change your wallpaper, but I don’t know if that’s still a thing and there were ways around it.
Probably true, but that particular computer just runs a Plex server and a few other things so the wallpaper doesn’t matter to me
I suspect that’s not a mission critical function for someone stuck on another planet with no internet.
Not unless the only way to get back home is to change the wallpaper!
