Smokey26 · 21 Mar 2020 at 18:02

Hi all, im waiting on my new PC, was going to download WIndows 10 to usb drive ready, also putting it on my sons PC, so will need 2x keys. Where is the best place to buy it? Google brings up what look like lots of dodgy sites.

Bought a couple off Amazon for a few quid. They worked fine.

Bought a few off eBay a few years back and they are all still fine.

Right, but those aren't genuine keys - although it appears the OP has given up on staying legit as well.

If you wanted non-genuine keys, maybe would have made sense to say so in your subject heading.

Yes, because I assumed talking about hookie keys and pirating software on these forums was banned. Perhaps the rules are getting more relaxed. It's MS or nowhere for genuine keys (unless buying retail or OEM from a supplier)

That's not what most websites I've found say.

Imagine the shock if websites which sold dodgy keys didn't tell you they were dodgy keys. :rolleyes:

Obviously you can get it from OcUK, but it's not going to be instant.

Alternatively if you have any Windows 7 licenses lying around (unlikely admittedly) then you can still activate Windows 10 with one of those.

Tech websites such as tomshardware and techradar I meant.

I do have a Windows 7 Key actually, ive still got the box my copy came in years ago.

Anyways, the Windows 7 Key worked a treat, thanks for pointing that out, didn't realise myself.
