Swan's General Guides

Working as of 5/5/2026 Made with love by swan <3 https://rentry.org/swanslibrary These are guides that didn't deserve their own pages.

Important Information!! Read First!!!

• This is a large guide involving tutorials for many different things, please use the links to jump to what you want to learn about
• This guide is purely for educational purposes
• I do not provide resources to anyone wishing to illegally abuse peer to peer file sharing protocols.
• I do not host any files on this site and my sites. I simply provide links and steps to recreate these files in a safe environment.
• I am not responsible for anything that may or may not happen to your devices during this guide.

Pre-Requisites:

• Please have any preferred ad blocker installed
  • For chromium users, uBlock Origin Lite works very well
  • For FireFox users, uBlock Origin Full works very well
• Ensure you either have WinRar or 7-zip
  • MacOS, use https://www.keka.io/en/ since 7zip is hard to use from CLI.
• A stable internet connection
• Directly downloading files shouldn't alert your internet service provider to anything nefarious, however if you still have a fear I'd recommend using Cloudflare Warp (best free) or Proton (best paid imo).
• Have a tab with this website open, it will come in handy later.
• On chrome, go to chrome://settings/security?search=secure+, set protection to "No Protection" or else chrome will block downloads and sites from loading.
• For the entirety of the guide, you will need to have windows real time protection disabled. https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows10/comments/f3bc2z/how_to_disable_windows_defenderreal_time/
• IF you use another antivirus, disable it.

Windows Activation + Office

• Open powershell
• Paste this irm https://get.activated.win | iex
• Hit enter
• For office, select 2 and follow the prompts. For anything else, select your desired prompt.

Done.

Remove "Wait 10s for download" on sites

• Enjoy!

Remove Microsoft Edge

Cheap spotify (Online & Desktop method)

Online method (VERY RISKY)

I personally have used this, and it DOES work, but it is sus asf.

• Go to this link
• Purchase 1 key
• Once you receive the key in your email, go back to this link
• Paste your key
• Input your spotify login.
  • Make sure to change your password to one you dont use for anything else before doing this. You can revert it after
• Select the US option for country.
  • If US isn't available, I chose mexico. You can also do greece, canada, UK, etc.
• Click upgrade my account. After a few hours your account will be added to a family plan and you will have an official spotify premium for $9 one time payment.
  If you face issues, save your key and use https://upgrader.cc/renew to fix it.

Desktop Method (Easy af asf)

• Ensure you have the spotify.com version of spotify installed, NOT THE MICROSOFT STORE VERSION
• Open powershell
• Run this command iex "& { $(iwr -useb 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SpotX-Official/SpotX/refs/heads/main/run.ps1') } -new_theme"
  Voila!
