Purchasing OS

[pablo-196]

Hey guys tomorrow im receiving my sager NP8268-S specs don't really matter at this point the computer brings a disk drive with all utilities and drivers but i need an OS any Good suggestions as to Where to get one for a reasonable price?

If you're a student, you can get Windows 8.1 for a reduced price from Microsoft. If you are an educator, you should be able to as well.

 

If neither, I'd either suggest you pay full price or maybe go on Reddit's r/microsoftsoftwareswap if you don't mind the deal be kind of shady (in that the licenses sold there aren't usually supposed to be resold.)

Hardforum usually has some keys for sale as well but same thing as the softwareswap. They're usually keys that work perfectly fine but are usually not suppose to be sold.

I think there's a site called go2keys that a few of my friends have gotten 'legitimate' Windows 8.1 product keys from. It's a bit shady but saves you tons of money.

[Mitchell yeah]

G2A has 8.1 keys for like $38

I second this. /r/microsoftsoftwareswap works really well for a cheap license. 

 

There are also OEM licenses available at places like Newegg for quite a bit more money, but still less than going to a store and buying a retail copy.

linux joks

nar go with like windows 8.1 you can get it cheaper as a student and then you will be able to upgrade for free (suposedly) to windows 10 when it is relested

[WinNut]

You can get a cheap one for 38 dollars on G2A, or if you're up for the learning curve go Linux.

If you have any older version you can upgrade to 8.1 for cheaper price.. But for a new one. It comes around 199$.
