Do you really need the pro version of it? Can some features be emulated by 3rd Party software? Try G2A Or that windows key swap thing on reddit

Depends on your view point.  To some a hundred or a few hundred is a good weeks pay, or money to pay the bills or have food.

 

Plus, that user stated they live in India.  The cost of Windows there probably is high for them.  Go ask some Aussie what they think of video game prices at times.  Not every place has the same price on an item.

 

Just to show you:  https://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msin/en_GB/pdp/Windows-10-Pro/productID.320462600

That its price over there.  Which converted to dollars is around $223.40.  Our price over here in the States is $199.99.

 

That still a good chunk of change in my book for a OS.

 

Also, google average wage in India.  Really give the reason why this person probably looking for the OS cheaper.

totally agree ..... windows should atleast keep the price equal to that as US (if they cannot price it lower) in india.... where not many people can afford an original windows copy.
