How to know if I am running cracked windows 10?
Hi
A long time ago (2018?), I bought a used laptop from someone. I am not sure if it was using legit windows 10 or cracked. I started using it as is.
January 2023 for some reason that I don't remember I needed this laptop back to brand new. I think I installed a software and it was a mess and I saw no other way out.
Now I have started to feel paranoid that this laptop was never clean and all this time someone has been watching me. What I am trying to figure out is which of the following I did January 2023
1) did I go to windows 10 reset funtionality (the thing that asks do you want to also clean drive), thereby keeping the possibly cracked windows 10 installed by the seller?
or
2) did I insert windows 10 USB, format the hard drive, and install legit windows 10?
is it possible to tell the difference between these?
