How many pirated softwares installed in your home PC?

My home PC still got three pirated video editing softwares. Still actively looking for open source or freeware to replace them.

1. Video capture software with sound recording from the source feature unlike the open source, CamStudio. Sound recording from speaker in my CamStudio is still not working. I believe this issue is related to sound card configuration.

2. Video splitter and joiner. Freeware SolveighMM AVI Trimmer may be able to replace these two since most of my video files are in AVI and WMV format. Still evaluating SolveighMM AVI Trimmer for its stability.

Reinstall copy to and move to commands in Windows 7 Starter

These two commands in Windows XP folder are missing in the Windows 7 Starter, not sure other versions suffer the same problem or not.

Move to command is very useful for users who move a lot of files. I found a registry installer to reinstall the commands in internet.

Upgrade pirated Windows 8 to licensed version for free?

There is another loophole to make pirated Windows 8 Pro to licensed version for free. I have no yet tested it, but some websites reported it worked.

Ask for a free product key for Windows 8 Media Center Pro from Microsoft’ website.

Hit the shortcut, Win+W, then type “add features.” Select “Add features to Windows 8.”

Click on “I already have a product key,” then enter your product key. Click Next to continue.

Agree to the licensing agreement, then click “Add features.”
