Looking for a legit store that sells W8.1 keys, Logan from TekSyndicate mentioned he bought quite a few for $20 from a well established legit store.

 

I just need 1 as my Windows install went loopy and is unrecoverable and the copy of Windows 8.1 that was on my rig was done by a mate who has his own IT repair shop and seeing as he is out of the country at the minute I can hardly just phone him up for his shop keys  :D

 

Anyway if anyone has any clues it would be hugely appreciated :)

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

Since when is G2A legit? Those are MSDN keys sold by people on G2A Marketplace; so it is just a key that will expire usually after 1 year, not a licence.

 

It's a grey area where Microsoft has begun clamping down on. Once you have activated the key, it will not expire; but if the MSDN/BizSpark account has expired and the key has not been used, it won't work.

 

Please note that it IS illegal and against the terms and services of Microsoft.

 

 

China's Taobao has tons of these, with sellers selling from Windows 7 -> Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter; at less than 0.5 USD per key.

Think I'm just going to put the Windows 10 beta on my machine until my IT shop friend gets back from holiday in a week, Might be a little safer.

 

Thanks for all the suggestion though :)
