Buying Windows From DCM?

PC Player

I heard about another cheap windows keys website called Digital Chill Mart, or DCM, and I was wondering if I would be okay to buy from there?

No.

None of those "cheap Windows key" sites are 100% above-board. You may get a Windows license that聽works, but it's almost always going to be a stolen corporate site license key, one of the generic site license keys Microsoft publishes for lab and staging purposes, or a license intended for a developing third-world market.

If you want a license that's guaranteed to be legitimate, buy one from an authorized reseller or direct from Microsoft.

I sold my soul for ProSupport.

Is there any authorized reseller that has a sale on Windows 11 Home keys right now, per chance? Ik it鈥檚 a long shot, but 120 dollars for a key is just absurd 馃槶

You're better off just installing Windows from official install media and running it without activating. Don't give shady bootleg operations your money.

While DigitalChillMart is generally a safe site and have good reviews overall, it's hard to say if said keys are legit retail keys or as @Needfuldoer said; stolen corporate keys. I will still recommend purchasing a proper version from the Windows Store.
