He said he took pictures of old xp keys in second hand shops and upgraded them.
I’ve also never bought a windows license, i still use my education licenses after university a decade ago. I have not heard of pc parts with an OEM license attached, thats why I believe you can have used windows all your life without ever paying something to microsoft.
