Many custom Windows OSes distribute their systems by providing a tweaked ISO of Windows. Not only it violates Microsoft's Terms of Service, but it is also not a safe way to install.
Rapid is in the process of making a partner with Windows Ameliorated Team to provide users a safer and legal way to install: the AME Wizard. With it, Rapid fully complies with Microsoft's Terms of Service.
Rapid-OS is NOT a pre-activated version of Windows. You must use a valid key to activate Windows. Before buying a Windows 10 (Professional or Home) license, be sure the seller is trustworthy and the key is legitimate — no matter where you buy it.
Rapid is based on Microsoft Windows. By using Windows, you agree to Microsoft's Terms of Service.
