Windows 10: PACE Anti-Piracy, it's safe for my Windows 11 PC?? Would the computer recognize it?

Hi!! I'm installing something related to music and it's saids "Would you like to install this device software" which is "PACE Anti-Piracy, Inc. Dongles" and the publisher is "PACE Anti-Piracy, Inc.". My question is... if I install this... I won't get any viruses or blue screen? I just want to make sure to see if it's safe for my computer.

Dear Tom Laverick,

Welcome to the Microsoft Community!

I understand that you encountered an issue with the anti-piracy checker while installing an original copy of Windows 11, but not with the other copy. I’m glad to hear that you were able to resolve it!

The Anti-Piracy Checker is a feature specifically designed to prevent the use of counterfeit software. If you’re seeing this message despite having a legitimate copy installed, it suggests that your Windows may not be activated correctly, which triggers the anti-piracy message.

Should you experience this issue in the future, I recommend backing up your important data and attempting a clean install of Windows. Furthermore, please ensure to download an image from Microsoft’s official website or install it using the official Media Creation Tool. Images from other sources may pose potential security risks and activation issues.

If you need to reinstall your system, please refer to the following article for detailed instructions on system reinstallation:

I hope this information is helpful! If you have any other questions or require further assistance, please don’t hesitate to respond.
