You've been here for four years and you don't know about the "no competitors" rule?

Rules

Windows 8.1

No.

Any cheap options will be illegal keys anyway

Not necessarily, legit key sites are selling them. They could just be those CHEAP keys bought en masse MS were selling on Windows 8 release.

You're correct, key sites aren't competitors.

G2A is a very good price! Are they legit?

Ive never bought a OS key before, so how will it work? Do i download the setup file and burn it to a DVD?

My dad had a spare win 7 key from his version

Especially if the rumours of windows 9 being free to people who have 8.1 are true

This page should have everything you need to know http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/upgrade-product-key-only

I can verify its legit, i've bought one stupidily cheap from G2A, verified it on MS website to download windows 8.1 and no problems since, this is very recent aswell.

Click the above link, click windows 8.1 if you get that key, paste it in, it gets verified and download. I didn't have to burn anything to a DVD.

i need a DVD really so i can do system re-installs, when i upgrade from windows 7, can i burn the setup file to a DVD still?

Up until the key ends up being from MSDN and it suddenly stops working.

Chances are if you buy just the key it won't be legit and you could end up being out of pocket.
