Some time ago i seen a post saying that using original Windows fixes desync. Did anyone actually buy original retail/oem and try it?

It doesn't matter if it's pirated or not, I used pirated Windows XP, 7, 10 1607, 1709, no desync. Using pirated Win 10 22H2 19045.2006 currently, I have desync in online games only. I doubt it's something from the pirated activation.

The most straightforward way to activate it without buying a key isn't even piracy in technical terms. An MS employee using it at one point even became a meme.

I'm telling you definitively, it's impossible!

Many professional gamers have complained about input lag during matches. Keep in mind that these matches are organized by Intel's official technical staff, which means the problem is unsolvable.

Well, if you bought original windows AFTER you already activated it with KMS, it doesn't really matter anymore since your PC could already be permanently "infected"...those activators are injecting code directly into CPU and MOBO as rootkis, and even flashing a new BIOS won't erase that, so if the code is malicious it could cause problems forever until you change MOBO.

But this is obviously not a culprit of our problems, like 90% of people doesn't have original Windows.
