I cant afford to buy windows and i cant even get it from kinguin. Is this method safe?

The command lines dont look fishy except for the middle one cause of those set of numbers. I searched the commands up on google btw. Got no outside knowledge.

You could get linux (it's free) and use this: http://www.noobslab.com/2017/01/do-you-like-windows-10-look-but-love.html

I dont want Linux because some games dont work on it and in general windows seems like a nicer option. Thanks for trying to help. :)

I have used Kinguin before, it is quite a hassle for me to activate the code given. I have contact Microsoft support and try to activate the code, which does not always guarantee working. I've heard from forums that some have their license deactivated in a few months. I personally do not recommend it if you want to go through the hassle of calling support to activate Windows.

Use kinguin or g2a. They are great options. But get buyer protection just in case.

i5 6600k and GTX 1070 but I play 1600-900. 1440p BABY!

Still, don't put too much faith in my buying decisions. xD

I saw that video. Anyway I just got a key from an amazing person on this forum. He says he had a couple and gave me one. I activated windows without a problem. I wont give his name so nobody asks him for one.

The thing linked says outright in description that its about using keygen. Which is basicly same as having cracked version. So no, not legal way of doing things.
