Best place/way to buy a (non-dvd) Windows OS for custom PC you want to sell?

Go to solution Solved by byalexandr,

I'm looking for the best way to buy Windows 7 or 8 for a good price from a trusted source, either by downloading or through USB. I've found $22 copies, but I'm sketched out by it. See: http://en.mmoga.net/Software/Windows/Windows-7-Home-Premium-32-64-Bit.html?ref=392&currency=USD

I also found $60 and $90 price tags. Which should I trust/go for?

 

Also, I have two previous laptops (which had windows 7 but broke, I scrapped them for parts), but I still have both of their Windows 7 Keys. Unfortunately, last time I tried downloading a win7 ISO from microsoft using the product key, it said "The product key you entered appears to be for software pre-installed by the device manufacturer. Please contact the device manufacturer for software recovery options." Or whatever. I'm sure there's a work-around.

oops. I guess I should probably do the monthly COC reading. I have seen plenty of others post it though.

$35 for Windows 10? $20 for Windows 7? Can I really trust this, guys?

 

Also, are there some other secret places to get good deals on hardware?

Yep, most of them are legit. Just make sure to read the comments.

What's the catch? How do they make a profit off of selling Windows 10 keys for $35, when it sells retail for $120? It smells fishy
