Purchase a downloadable copy online, or order an actual physical copy from a place like Amazon. Pirated OS's are incredibly sketchy, and I highly recommend you do not use one.


Chances are it's backdoored, and even if it's from a reputable source, you have no idea how they could've encrypted the virus to hide in there, plus if you're using a pirated OS, it's much easier for it to contain a virus and remain undetected as opposed to using pirated software.

Not to mention it's harder then usual to get a working copy that will get all the updates when they are available. If your going to use an OS like Windows, shell out the cash to get a legitimate copy which will be gauranteed to be free if viruses (initially :P) and get all the appropriate updates.

If you don't want to shell out the cash, get Ubuntu or a similar easy to learn Linux distro.

Ive used multiple downloaded windows and ive never procured any virus. You just have to know the legitimately right people.

If your using a downloaded Windoze OS the uploader could've actually coded it into the OS it's self, which would most likely be incredibly hard to detect.

But yea, if you know the right people chances are it won't be a problem
