You can check whether your Windows installation is genuine or pirated through the Windows Validation Service : https://www.microsoft.com/genuine/validate/

I'm unable to load that URL because I'm accessing it from OSX. Check it and let us know if it works fine.

its a software and works after downloading.

How will that work without validation from external source. That's the only way to check it.

It gets downloaded anyways during windows update at later time, but when exactly is not known. It can get downloaded randomly.

But is it not true once it is found pirated all of microsoft's product will fail to work in that system

go to -> control panel ->system and security -> system if the window is pirated it ask for the key checkout the file alongwith

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👀

You can easily find out that your windows is pirated or genuine .
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 -

1. Click on “Start” and type “Task Scheduler”
2. 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
