I would either just live with the watermark and lack of personalizations or fork out the full recommended retail price of Windows 10.

Hey that's cool that you would do that. What I would do is buy a cheep key. Hence the thread asking about the best way to go about doing that.

What's the best site to get legit Windows 10 keys on the cheep.  Many off them look pretty shady.

Because the "dirty cheap" keys are shady deals in the first place.

There's no such thing as a cheap legit windows key, the closest thing you'll find is an OEM key from eBay (which is still kind of shady, but imo it's better than buying a key from G2A or Kinguin).

Cheapest 100% legit key is Home OEM for $90. All the others you can't say for sure how seller did get the key in first place.

eBay has Windows licenses every edition of Windows 10, retail and OEM, Enterprise and LTSC.

 

The EU's highest court has ruled that it's legal to resell software licenses even if the publisher of the software says people can't. So, eBay can't take down listings of people in EU selling Enterprise and LTSC Windows 10 licenses, or any other licenses.

This only goes with keys that are bought legit from MS or taken from dead PCs. There are still chances that key is acquired by illegal ways. But buyer can't tell anyway, nor does eBay in reality. Making this bit hard to swallow at any point.

I super don't care how it was acquired. As long as it's not illegal for me to buy and as long as I'm not getting ripped off myself with a non working key.

I’ve bought windows 7, 8, and 10 keys off of eBay, g2a, and kinguin without a single issue with any. Windows 10 LTSC can be bought off eBay for about $10 and it’s the best Windows OS since 7.

THIS is the ONLY correct answer. Anyone selling OEM keys for cheap either acquired them illegally, or is willfully violating the EULA. Whether your morals care or don't care is an entirely separate issue; but it doesn't change the legality of acquiring keys from unauthorized resellers.
