I just buy $3-5 keys that are sent by email. But yes that should be fine, it's an OEM version so not transferrable.

Two options:

1. Go to any of the bazillions of key sites pimped by tech channels, use their 10% off code, and get a W10 key for $15 or so that's guaranteed to work.

2. Make the yard sale rounds, find an old, filthy, broken Windows 7 PC with a price tag of $100 on it, tell the guy you'll give him $5, then take home your new Windows key.

 

I mean, there are way more than two options, but the only other one I'm posting here is to just give Microsoft a ton of money.

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

Its OEM key. OEMs are $70-90 if you get them from retailers.

 

Technically only difference between OEM and retail is that MS support will not help you if you run into issues. The key can be transferred if you connect it to MS account.
