So called "cracked" versions are less frequently malicious than is
claimed by rumours. Supposedly "cracked" Windows 10 install media are
probably most of the times copies of original Windows 10 media, neither
cracked (activated) nor malicious. AIO pirate Windows media, providing
several "cracked" and "repaired" and full automatically installable
different Windows versions, does seemingly nobody produce for modern
Windows releases anymore. Nowadays "everybody" seems to use leaked
keys. That Microsoft revokes those leaked keys is obviously just spread
FUD.

However, if somebody owns a legally bought Windows install media, than
Windows support is a place to ask. Exact descriptions on how to
activate Windows without the right to do so, is not allowed.

It's not forbidden to do some Google searches ;).
