Hi! So I'm looking to cheap out on my OS.(I know not the smartest idea) Does anyone know how long the free windows 10 lasts for. Like when you boot up windows 10 and dont put in the product key? Also would you guys consider kinguin a reliable source for windows 10 codes? Thanks! :)

kinguin can be a reliable source. Look for high reviews of the seller. And win10 will last for around 30 days and maybe u can delay using slmgr /rearm

a command prompt command which extends the trial period.

I want to know if it will end. If there is like a time period before it stops.

yes 30 days but can be extended but 6 months MAX i think. After that will becme annyoing and keep on spamming you to activate and u might be a victim of software counterfeiting. and it is $20 on kinguin. Go ahead witht hat
