reddit is a more reliable source, and non OEM

Get it from /r/microsoftsoftwareswap.  It's more reliable.

As much as I wanna get some keys on reddit, they don't accept PayPal. At least the most reliable vendor I talked to said.

but if i buy it from G2A will i get a license key i type in in system settings, or what?

 

if the key is wrong i just "downvote" the key on g2a, so it doesnt matter

I've personally bought an 8.1 key form g2a and they give you the actual product key that you type in.

OEM one or non-OEM one?

(OEM one is cheaper)

I bought non oem but a non oem key is exactly the same as an oem key, just when you redeem it through windows it recognizes which one you have.

 

Edit* There are differences between the two though, an OEM key is locked to the motherboard you're using when you install it where as a non OEM key is not locked to the motherboard. Both are the same amount of digits and both will give you a genuine copy of windows and both are redeemed the same way.

I'm not very sure how it works with windows 10, you will still end up with the respective version but I don't know how w10 works. It is supposed to lock to your windows live account but if you don't have one then it still locks to your motherboard but if you use a windows live account and a oem key then it locks to both? See where I'm getting with that, don't really have a clue with w10 honestly.
