Ebay For Windows 10 ?

[PyroBlast13]

So I was browsing ebay and I noticed that there are some good deals on windows 10  pro and home, I was wondering if ebay was a good safe place to buy this stuff.

http://reddit.com/r/microsoftsoftwareswap <--- I'd personally trust this place more than ebay, though when paying people on it, they'll tell you to use the "send money to family or friends", but just calculate the $0.30 and like 2.9% or whatever in paypal fees for making a normal payment, so they still get the same amount of money. (It'll cost you a little bit more, but it also means that if the key goes invalid and they won't help you, you can still chargeback the paypal purchase and get your money back. Kinda scummy, but eh.)

What option would be the easiest and the simplest?

I picked up a windows 10 key from kinguin.net this last weekend for my build and it was quick and painless. No problems at all. I have also used /r/microsoftsoftwareswap in the past (slightly more difficult as it is not a store front but individual sellers). In both cases I have had success without issue.

 

That said all of these are grey market vendors where there is no guarantee that it will work forever etc etc. But if you don't want to pay full retail from a reputable vendor they are good options.

G2A is the safest gray market to buy Windows from for cheap

Just use the reddit exchange as mentioned above... While you can purchase from G2A or Kinguin, the guys over on Reddit care about their good "karma score" and they are also moderated. That is the safest way outside of purchasing through retail channels.

I bought my Windows 10 key from Kinguin, the only issue there is that it is going to be an OEM key meaning you cannot make any major changes to the hardware setup and Microsoft will not support your copy of Windows. Even at $20 ish a key, if I make any major changes I will just buy a new key still much better than the $120 Microsoft is charging.
