Buying Windows from G2A.com?

[FunkyFeatures]

Hey

I will be building my pc very soon, and as far as i know, i can get windows 8 cheap from g2a.com.

Does it just work in a way that you buy a license from people who sell it, and it works, or is there a big risk in buying it from there?

Currently, i can get it for about 50 euro, and i usually have to pay 100 euro for an OS in Denmark.

I have also heard about it being time limited licenses, such as the license goes out after 1 year or so. True/false?

 

Thanks for the help

G2A is a very 50/50 site i would not use it for anything above €20

 

but thats just me

Don't!! I got a pirated key and have yet to get a refund sent to me... 
There is a subredit /r/microsoftsoftwareswap They give out legit windows key and if you have any issues they will help you out no problem

Just buy it elsewhere. For some reason I don't trust them and buy my game keys on other stores.

You are not the sharpest tool in the shed are you mate?

 

Instructing someone directly to commit piracy here is a no-no.

So far what i have understood:

Don't buy from g2a.com

look at /r/microsoftsoftwareswap

holy moly the reddit is confusing

but wow, is it really trustworthy on the subreddit /r/microsoftsoftwareswap?

its hella cheap! Would use that any day as long as it is trustworthy - link to what i want - http://www.reddit.com/r/microsoftsoftwareswap/comments/2iyp57/h_windows_7_8_81_windows_server_office_visio/

I want either windows 7 or 8, whatever is cheapest and supports 32gb ram.

Windows 7 Pro or Windows 8 (normal) can support 100+GB of RAM each

Looks great then - seems like for only 15 usd i can get windows 8 - love it! Cannot thank you guys enough for this - This is going to save me quite a bit of money.

Will they always be in stock, or should i hurry up and get a key now before they run out? It will be about 1 month until i actually need the key.

You should be fine, the people who sell software keys for really cheap are buying them in bulk for a reduced price then selling them way under retail and still making a profit.
