You do not simply click into Mordor. You paste it on top of a logged-in TechNet page and press enter.

Although it has given me a blank page once. ;)

Too many people trying.

Tried that in Chrome 100 times, no luck, tried it in firefox 50 times, no luck.

Just tried it once in chrome and it worked. LMFAO.

for the record I didn't fill out any form, just sign into technet with my live passport.

Whee, two keys for me (one x86, one 64-bit, they're different by the way). After only 2h of greasemonkey hammering.

And blank page on the script is from the hammering I think. I got it a couple of times now, but it works sometimes (and redirects to productkeys, which is the one that has to be refreshed).

I've finally got a key of my own! After 15 hours of trying (I started midnight GMT, it's now 15.10 )

I was kindly donated one by someone, but wanted my own so it was account associated so I can do feedback officially. Once I've made sure mine works I'll let the original owner know he can re-donate his spare if he wishes.

Anyone know where it's logged on techet so you can check it's properly associated with your account ?

( UK user, firefox 3.05, logged into technet, connect and profile.microsoft.com and refreshing the page brought after the original link ending 1033 )

I just hope they're real and not just fakes spat out as a solution to stop people hammering ;)

The download link it comes out with does nothing but redirect to http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/

    • Nearly 70% of Steam users now run Windows 11

      By NextGen_Gamer · Posted

      Along with that and very unfortunate for Linux, the AI boom/tariffs/global supply chain instability really destroyed any chances of it getting a decent chunk of market share. By all accounts, if a Steam Deck was still available for $399 (with tons of alternatives releasing at $500-$800 - instead of $1500+ now) and the Steam Machine was out there for $499, I think a lot of people WOULD have been willing to try SteamOS and switch away from Windows. But yeah, with the crazy jacked up prices now, people have to make safe bets with their money.

      Neowin hasn't been covering the Ladybird browser but it has been posted about on a lot of tech and Linux/open source sites. I have been following the effort myself for almost a year now. Cloudflare and Proton are among their sponsors. You can read the why here--> https://ladybird.org/#about

      That's really the user's problem, not the developers. It's not like the Windows 10 EOL was a surprise. Once a product goes out of support, you have to understand YOU are owning the risk of running it - the rest of the world will move on, maybe you'll be OK, maybe you'll be OK for a while, maybe you'll have an issue.... But you can't expect devs to write or certify software for dead operating systems.

      Not mentioned in this blog post is that Linux has now dropped for 2 months in a row. At a hight of 5.33% in March, then 4.52% in April and now 3.99% in May. I suspect the end of Windows 10 got a bunch of people to try Linux, fueled by all the Microsoft hate, and rabid social media push of that....and now they are going back to Windows 11 because of the normal Linux issues. The vast majority of PC gamers want to use their computers to game and not trouble shoot why a game wont work, or half work.
