In an enterprise environment where I control the apps that I install for my users, what are the ramifications of removing the Windows store and all of its apps from my Windows 10 setups?

    I thought of the prepaid card with bogus personal info idea too, but decided it wasn't worth the trouble. I'd done that once, for a game and also to test the idea, and it worked.

    What about using a prepaid Google Store card from a supermarket? Or do they require you to register a credit card?

      You can pay cash for a Store card. And since those cards are meant to be usable as gifts, they can't very well insist you tie your name to it when you make the purchase. I haven't done it, so can't be 100% certain it'll work but can't think of any reason why it would not.
