It gets downloaded anyways during windows update at later time, but when exactly is not known. It can get downloaded randomly.
That is the case only if the windows is not activated. You cannot check the cracked pirated windows in this manner, for that u will have to go to Microsoft's Website👀sajan kumargo to -> control panel ->system and security -> system if the window is pirated it ask for the key checkout the file alongwith

By following these steps-
Just open your cmd (comand prompt) and run it as administrator.
Then type " slmgr.vbs -xpr "
In the cmd .
If the expiry date is showing then your windows is pirated otherwise it is genuine if it is showing "permanently activated".
Thank you.

One of the methods that my friend uses is -
- Click on “Start” and type “Task Scheduler”
- Check if there is an entry for “AutoKMS”.
It will look something similar to this:
Name: AutoKMS
Status: Ready
Triggers: Multiple Triggers Defined
So, if this “AutoKMS” entry is mentioned in your OS Task Scheduler then your Windows OS is pirated, and if not then it is genuine.
If you are using a pirated version of Windows, it may initially work without any issues but, after a few weeks, it is likely that Microsoft’s activation checks will identify this problem and you will be asked to activate your copy of Windows by providing a valid product key.
Anyone knows any other methods?
Click Windows key+R
After than type 'slmgr.vbs /dli'
If window has been cracked than It will show the name of that software with the help of that it has been cracked
If it is genuine than it will show only windows version name and product key
There are a number of ways that you can use to check whether the OS (Windows) is genuine or pirated(cracked). Some of the simple ones are:
1) Via Settings - Go to the 'settings' and then 'update and security' then click on the 'activation' section.
Here you will find something like this:
If it shows "Activated with digital license" then the OS is genuine. If not then its pirated.
2) Via code - Use " slmgr.vbs/dli " in command prompt. It will open a pop-up window looks like this:
: If License status is, Licensed. then the OS is genuine otherwise pirated.
One more way you can use is- Use " slmgr/xpr " in command prompt. wait for some seconds. It will open a pop-up window that can show:
i) The machine is permanently activated. (means it is genuine)
ii) The machine is activated it till a certain date. (means it is pirated).
I hope it helps.
The best way to check whether windows is pirated or original is to install with updates as this would ask for the unique key provided by the company to the product and you will receive a warning to purchase full version for it .
