Can you link a place to buy a product key

MrRemnant

Ive got unactivated windows 10, can someone link a place to buy a  product key from a reputable site (UK)   These are the details from using win+R and typing winver

I'm getting really sick of the little watermark

You can either buy Windows 10, or Windows 7 or 8.1 and use that key to activate 10.  Those are the options.  Windows is not a free product so you're not just going to find free keys randomly online unless they are illegal.

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.

unfortunately, that's not quite how the world works.

Yeah, I’ve just heard of sites like kinguin that sell them for a lot less and was wondering if there was one like that.

Sites such as kinguin, g2a, etc. that are not licensed microsoft key sellers are illegal. You can dm me if you want though and I can explain it better.

Ultimately, it's the most important piece of software on your computer.  It's kind of a big deal.  Maybe the price of 2 video games isn't all that unreasonable?

That typically only applies if your school is subscribed to Microsoft Imagine. In most cases, only colleges and universities would have such subscriptions for their Business, Computing Science, and sometimes Engineering students.

Pretty sure the german sellers has a European ruling in favor of the legitimacy of selling oem keys. Might just have been a german court ruling.

It's not technically on the blacklist if the key comes directly from Microsoft IIRC. @Energycore would probably know better than me.

I haven't seen that much shady claims about mssoftwareswap, but as usual proceed with caution and don't pay with a non-reversible means like crypto.

I wouldn't call it that way. In the article it says users can transfer licenses. Reselling OEM copies is whole another ordeal. Plus, selling single copies that are part of volume pack (sold to corporations) is against ToS of those packs. Which is mainly how cheap keys are being sold.
