Is there a way to get a valid fully licensed Windows 10?

 

I've seen places that offer really cheap licensed Windows 10 keys and I was wondering if those were for real and safe?

 

I don't think anyone really wants to spend $100 on Windows 10... 

 

Thanks

There's a video Linus did himself about this on tech quickie i believe, i'd highly recommend watching it.

I paid less than $4 on ebay. Seller sent the key in an ebay message 3 hours after purchasing.

The thing with ebay is that you can never be sure that it's a valid license.

And if it's not, you open a return request using item not as described, say that it's a nonworking key, and get your money back.

I enjoy buying junk and sinking more money than it's worth into it to make it less junk.

Mine is still activated. For $4 it is a cheap gamble that has paid off for me.

Mine too. Best 10 bucks I spent. When it expires I will just buy another.

 

They could last a few months or a few years. If you want a guaranteed worry free license, buy the full product.
