What they mean is that it’s like WinRAR, you can use it without a license forever, but you’ll have features locked and get constantly nagged to purchase license.

Yeah. I havent used windows in a long time but when I was, you could play games without any license… What is locked?
abfarid@startrek.website 2 days ago
Some features and settings. Like, for example any desktop customization.

Seems minor. If they wanted people to pay for it, they would block games since thats what most young people use windows for…
