They sent me a pic of a cd key on a Windows 7 cd case. I assume they bought a large stock of surplus at a discount, but am not asking questions at 10$

fair enough. Thanks man!

So I just built my very first computer, but now it's time to install an ISO. I saw Linus's video on downloading an ISO using a USB. My question is this: "Can you purchase an ISO already on an USB at somewhere like Walmart, or do you need to get the CD's and then rip them onto a USB?" Also as a second question I saw something called an "OEM" on Newegg. I have no idea what that is. Any help for a newb?

You buy the Windows key from wherever, like Reddit or from Microsoft, wherever. You download the ISO and necessary files from the internet, watching a guide on how to do it is recommended.

Keep in mind, the ISO is free, Windows key is what costs money.

Ok, I now have the ISO. I can't find a place to purchase a key. Everyone wants to ship something to me. Anyone got a link to a good spot to buy from?
