microsoft.com I would not trust keys from a reseller.

[The1Dickens]

The best place to go is an authorized distributor of Windows 10 keys.

Buy there for 6 Years. Not a single faulty Key.

Basically all Windows 7/8/8.1 keys would work for Windows 10 AFAIK. Microsoft really wants everyone to be using Windows 10. *wink wink nudge nudge*

So all that talk they had about it being a limited upgrade window? Yea, nah mate.

I'm not saying I would *trust* eBay sellers but several friends of mine and I haven't had any issues with those $2 Windows 10 pro keys.
If you want something that you know is going to work go through Microsoft but if you want something that might work for a while but there are no guarantees it's only a few bucks.

You could always pick up an old EOM box off ebay or somthing and use the sticker on it?

In my experience enterprise keys for w7 wont activate at w10 install

I've bought a handful of Windows 10 OEM - keys on Kinguin. They've all worked fine, no issues whatsoever.

[IntMD]

I bought my last Win 10 Pro key from a reseller on Amazon UK. It'll be a rando OEM key, but was sent via email in a couple of hours from when I bought it and works perfectly. It was under $10 when factoring in the exchange rate and works perfectly.

I've bought a few on eBay and they've been fine, one was a volume key but it still works.

I could be wrong but I believe most of these just come shipped with a standard Pro license. At least, that was the case with my old workplace and we just imaged Enterprise on them. Didn't have to do anything on the license side when we re-imaged systems from 7 to 10.

Not sure, what i said said might of been misleading. I mean from the few secondhand business machines Ive bought with enterprise keys stuck to them, those keys haven't activated for me installing windows ten by trying he same key.

 

Im not sure how enterprise volume keys work these days, last time I was working with that many systems it was NT
