Is this legit?

To be perfectly honest I think that website looks legit so I will probably get it from there.

As long as you bought the key, you can download the iso from anywhere you want, even torrent, since until you activate it with a key is a trial version, so no legal problem with that.

Please may somebody tell me if this copy of windows 7 is legit or not because it seems quite cheap.

An AMD cpu has no place in a solely gaming build, end of.

It's probably an MSDN key. Not legal, but it'd work just like any other key.

 

I'd rather buy one from /r/microsoftsoftwareswap since people sell MSDN keys there for even less.

It says they are COA keys so that is probably why they are low priced. They should work unless the place is sleezy and sells the same key twice.

They are not MSDN keys they are COA keys.

Errr.. Not sure, but why not:

1. Go for G2A (I will get hate for that one)

2. use /r/softwareswap

3. download it from Microsoft themself :P

Because as long as the place isn't terrible and sells the key twice, COA keys last forever while MSDN do not.

G2A isn't that just the activation key so wouldn't I need a copy of the disk as well?

Not sure about G2A, but can't recommend it at this point.

So am I the only person who saw

'Taken from a decommissioned machine'?

That's alarming, they claim its not a VLK or MSDN key so if its from a decommissioned machine it must have been activated previously, right?

Does a required refund policy for something that cant/doesnt work apply?

I used a key taken from a broken laptop on my macbook and it worked.
