Wanna buy Windows, few questions

Rayhaan Jiwani

Hello Forum,

 

I wanted to buy Windows 7 for the nostalgia and Windows 8 or something to upgrade to Windows 10. Currently, there's 90% off of w7 Pro on fast2play.com so I was thinking I should buy it. I wanted Home Premium though. For Windows 8 to upgrade to 10, I guess I'll just get it at full price. So I wanted to know whether there are any websites where I can get serial keys for both and they are legit (except G2A). I read a while ago that there are some pages on Reddit which sell them for cheap but I don't have them and I don't know how authentic they are. I also wanted to know the generic keys for Windows 7, 8, 8.1 to install and then later on change it to my OEM keys. Please reply fast and to the questions since the sale is for a limited time.

Thanks! :)

Could you please elaborate a little? I've never installed an OS. Where can I download the OEM ISO from and what about wintoflash?

Is there a reason you want to buy Windows 8 and upgrade to Windows 10? Why not just buy Windows 10 instead directly?

So I bought a set of 2 w7 Pro keys from fast2play.com but I got only one, so does that mean that one will work on two machines? I have buyer protection incase I need another one.
