Where to buy Windows 7/8 on the cheap?

Guest

Where can I buy a Windows 7/8 license on the cheap when not a student? I have used r/softwareswap before, but they have banned all microsoft sales threads.

You could go to g2a.com

 

(legitimacy has been questioned numerous times though)

 

I got 20 Win7 Pro keys for free from doing work experience in the NHS though

Compatible with Windows 95

G2A.com - I bought 3 copies of them to put on my rig and upgrade my mom and brother's Windows XP systems.

Thanks!

But Windows 8.1 Professional x64 costs almost $90 on g2a.com and I'm not sure if that's considered cheap? or am I doing something wrong? It just seems to be very close to the prices that newegg and amazon sometime has.

Win8.1 Pro Prices:

 

Amazon:   £110

G2A.com: £30

 

That's cheap

 

(Windows 8 standard is £15 on G2A and £70 on Amazon)

Yeah that sounds much better than the offer I found. Can you please send me a link? :)

I found go2keys.com which sells Windows 8.1 Pro for $50. I researched them a bit, and they seem to have a good reputation on reddit, trustpilot, webutation etc. I've purchased a key there, waiting to receive it.

call microsoft and tell them you lost your key and they'll charge one for 10 bucks

Referring to torrenting is against CoC I think

 

Also @OP http://www.reddit.com/r/softwareswap/?count=26&before=t3_2kbzyq I got windows 8.1 for $11. Only thing is, they send you a key and you need to install windows using an ISO file. Hope this helps :D

I really want to purchase 8.1 pro and that price is incredible.  Are the keys legit or it's one of those 180 day keys?

No they are legit, just make sure you buy it from a guy that has been confirmed as one of the traders of the month. The only down side is, that it's only a key, and you have to install with an ISO, some traders have a tutorial on how to do it, others don't. But even if you need help, feel free to ask this forum. The keys are bought in bulk (hence so cheap I think) from this official microsoft website (forgot the name of it) where they sell keys for cheap I guess. Anyway it's legit have bought 1 for myself before and a couple for my friends. Hope this helps :)

all I use these days are ISO's...lol.  I don't even remember the last time I've used an optical disk to install anything.  If I do buy a key, will it expire if I don't use it for a while?  Also where can I locate a key on that site?

 

if I do use the key for my current rig, what will happen in the future when I build a new system? will the key still work?  or will it become invalid?

 

sorry for asking so many questions.   Also thanks for your help.

 

 

p.s

 

in your avatar,  what the hell is wrong with that guy's face?  did he put a plate in his upper lip or something?  oO

 

 

update:

 

I just checked the site you provided,  and one of the rules state that selling of Microsoft products are not allowed.  Well!!  It looks like M$ nipped that in the bud.   I guess you were lucky to get it when you did before the scrub.
