Cheap Legit Places to get Windows?

QuadNine

I recently bought an rx 460 and the required drivers only work on 64 bit systems, and I only have a 32 bit system. What is a legit cheap place I can get windows 7 64 bit?

SHAMEFUL DISPRAY

Who says it has to be legit  ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

 

 

(Fine, Kinguin's decent.)

 

I'm pretty sure you can use microsoft's free Windows 10 media creation tool and somehow transfer your licence

You should be able to use your existing "32-bit" license with both 32 and 64 bit editions of Windows 7.

You'll just have to reinstall Windows.

www.Microsoft.com is where to buy legit windows keys

 

if you want cheap, gray market keys, Kinguin

 

If you want free windows installs, then just download windows 10, don't put in a product key, and the only problem you will have is a small watermark in the bottom right.

Also going for kinguin, I've bought 3 games from them, if the code didn't work, immedietly got a new one that works. +1 for Kinguin's customer support, fast and easy

An authorized retailer like Amazon during a sale. If you use Bing/Microsoft Rewards, you can get gift cards that will reduce the price significantly (eventually free). Newegg gets some good sales on it too during events.

 

Also, why are you using a card like that on hardware that's 32-bit? It's overkill for anything you'd use it for I'm guessing.

I just had a random disc that was 32 bit lying around when I made the system

I think I'll go with the windows 10. When I install it do you know if it will be 64 bit, or will it still be 32 bit?

If you currently have 32 bit installed, you will have to do a clean install of 64 bit.

I've always used this. I like it better because I pay with amazon gift cards so theres no way my credit card gets compromised. never had any problems from the top sellers.

Also ya know that http://www.howtogeek.com/244678/you-dont-need-a-product-key-to-install-and-use-windows-10/

 

And the insider program supposedly gives free unrestricted access indefinitely until they make an update to block that out. So you technically may not even need a key to get up and running. :P

Follow the guide in my signature.  Keys DO NOT depend on the architecture of your OS, only the version you choose.

Please spend as much time writing your question, as you want me to spend responding to it.  Take some time, and explain your issue, please!
