do you trust it?
>>
I do not trust anything I didn't write myself.

For everything else I accept (or no) the risk.
>>
nothing related to computers is trustworthy

Yeah, and it's Microsoft's own greedy fault for locking excel behind a subscription

my shit is activated forever using hardware ID, even after wiping the drive and reinstalling, forever. Do I trust windows no. I install windows every few months on an ntfs partition when I want to play video games. I managed to play black ops 2 on linux but it kept disconnecting from the servers.

Even better you don't need to trust it at all.
Since Microsoft has such shitty servers, they don't even do a "local" activation, but instead trick Microsoft's official servers into thinking you are permanently HWID activated.
So you can install Windows, run the script, confirm it's activated. Then fully wipe the device, zero out the drive if you want, install Windows again, and as soon as you connect to the internet, it will reactivate (as long as it's the same edition). Because the HWID activation is server-side, not client-side, and only Microsoft could fuck up activation validation even on the server side.
>inb4 can't they bulk deactivate everyone that used it
No, because the scripts are abusing Microsoft's free windows 7 to windows 10 upgrade offer (win 10 license keys are valid for win 11). So if they did that, they would also kill off a large number of legitimate upgrade licenses which would violate the terms the win 7 users agreed to.

Shit you beat me to it

Worst case there's always KMS activation which has always worked without issues for me
HWID is more convenient though
