Where to get windows 10?

MrRemnant

If you look at my older posts, i’ve had a lot of problems with windows 10 in the past. Now having an unlicensed windows 10, I want to know;

what version of win 10 I’m running (I guess somewhere in settings?) and where to get the licence for it. I know that not many people opt for the £100 Microsoft store windows 10, so where can I get it (in the UK) as that “activate windows” watermark is really annoying me now. Thanks in advance.

You can see what edition it's running under systems. And to get a license, it's through the Microsoft Store, Amazon, or Best Buy.

Win+R, type "winver"

Something like this will pop up.

 

As for a place to get a cheap license, look on ebay for "Windows 10 license" or something and you'll find something like this:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/WINDOWS-10-PRO-32-64BIT-PROFESSIONAL-LICENSE-KEY-COA-sticker-CODE-OEM-key/152874173388?epid=7013358046&hash=item239802c3cc:g:Fz8AAOSwyi9aBLDY

It's surprisingly legit.

I cannot vouch for its legitimacy, but I've heard at least one person say that it works.

Personally I use kinguin.net, pay for the "protection" in case they give you a faulty key. but its still much cheaper than 100+$

The surprising legit eBay is where I got my first win 10 copy/key. It didn’t work and that’s why I’m left with unactive windows.
