Any deals For Windows 10?

[KillerGirl]

mainly thinking are there any deals out there either for fairly cheap, and official, or a deal combining windows 10 and say windows office, (mainly Microsoft word)

its cheap and easy to get, buying windows for over 100$ is not really worth it, you get an official license.

For many rigs I just installed windows 7 or 10 and it didn't need a key.

not a new build, if you were to build a new  PC with new parts, you would need a key.

You can run Windows 10 without activating it, and save up money to buy a full license.

As for MS Office, I don't think it gets many deals. You can run LibreOffice temporarily. It's similar to MS Office 2003, and is fully compatible with all of MS Office's file types.

You can run Windows 10 Assistive Features or go to Kinguin/dealscube or, if you're a student, using your student's discount to get a cheaper key.

Don't use Kinguiin. It's a grey market that sells keys that are often effectively stolen, if not actually stolen.

You're not. Kinguin is built on scamming as many people as possible. They don't give a shit about selling insurance, and just ignoring any issues brought to them.

 

As for Paul's video, a typically good role model advocating doing something borderline illegal doesn't magically turn it into a model citizen action.

 

As far as I can see, advocating for Kinguin's keys (they're not actual licenses, and buying from them IS breaking the law in some countries) is tantamount to advocating piracy.

[SCHISCHKA]

A web store based out of hong kong selling keys are not selling licenses. A key is not a license and using a key without license, especially OEM, is breaking several terms in the license/EULA.

 

The only deals will be academic and business accounts ones so you should ask your school what they can do for you. I use to get free operating systems from my university. The only deal for office is Office home & student edition.

The community does this from time to time. Sorry that we couldn't help in the end.

lol no problem, thanks, i was just woundering if there was a deal like, i know on amazon you could buy a i7 and get like a gpu or better cpu cooler, and stuff like that for cheaper than both of them separate

It depends. Sometimes Newegg will have a builder's discount for Windows 10 with the purchase of hardware, but it's usually only 10-20%. I've never had an issue with a revoked key and neither have my customers, but I also have a few VL licenses lying around the hospital and home. 

 

It'd be up to you. Kinguin does offer protection for the keys which is good.

Isn't MS still offering the free upgrade if you use the accessibility features? 

 

Sure, it'd be wrong to not use them (after saying you would), but I think it would be a bit better then buying a key that could be blocked at a random time.

Uhmm...

The reason why I posted it is because if people are talking about buying keys from a site like Kinguin, how hard would it be to track down a valid 7/8/8.1 key and use the accessibility upgrade.

 

It's the same requirements from the free promotional upgrade MS did when 10 released, just with the accessibility requirement.
