Buying windows from G2A

[Unilision]

So I've seen people posting about buying the windows from G2A, and I'm wondering if it's legit? 
Has anyone here purchased from that site and had no issue what so ever?

I mean its Quote on Quote "Legit"but i would buy from reddit instead of g2a

[Misanthrope]

Most people seem to get valid keys but there have been issues in the past and could be in the future...though for the price it seems to be a worthy risk, might try one of those keys myself if needed in the future

When you purchased it, was it instantly sent to you, or was there a delay?

activate g2a shield (it shows in the payment process) basically you pay a dollar and you have a garanteed functional key otherwise they will refund

always buy shield if your buying from g2a

G2A is good for cheap games imo, I'd never spend more than 20€ for something on there. Have heard too many bad things and I'd definitely not buy my OS on there.

shield protects your initial purchase, but it won't help if a key stops working someday or if you get something in the wrong language etc.

I've bought windows from reddit 3 times before and no problems with any of them

It's like semi-legit.

Windows keys purchased from G2A are 100% non-authentic keys! Zero exceptions!

That's not to say that you may be able to install Windows, or even use it for sometime, but eventually your key will be discovered as invalid.

Microsoft does not, under any circumstance, sell just the product key. This is a published fact you can find on numerous Microsoft websites regarding authentic versions of Windows. What these sellers will do (it's not actually G2A selling you the key, but sellers using the G2A site much like eBay doesn't sell you anything either) is sell the same key several times over, then once too many people install Windows with the same key, it gets flagged as not authentic. They may also be selling stolen OEM keys intended to be used on brand new systems built by various vendors (HP, Sony, Acer, etc.).

I purchased a key from G2A for Windows 8.1, I was able to initially install Windows, but a few days later I received a notification that the key was already in use. I contacted G2A, and because I purchased G2A shield at the time of purchase, I received a full refund.

My recommendation, do NOT purchase Windows keys from G2A unless you want to roll the dice.

Like 15 second delay, just processing apparently.
