Anyone knows how to activate windows the cheap way? :)

Like the title says, I would be greatful if someone could share a way on how to activate windows the cheap and safe way. Thanks.

the only legal way is to purchase retail. anything else is piracy because it is breaking some rule. Only need to break one rule for it to be piracy.

If you cant afford windows, go Linux I guess. But win 10 isn't that pricey, or at least its not where i live.

Simple, use it inactivated lol all you get is a small watermark at the right bottom and can't change the wallpaper... much wow.

cheapest way is to just leave it inactivated, although you will have a watermark on windows 24/7. you can try getting a cd-key off reddit,etc. for $20-30 usd instead.

you could also buy a license key, either second hand or on somewhat dodgy key selling websites

sites like kinguin sell those keys for cheaps, but they are questionable at best.

 

to be sure you get a working, safe key, just buy retail i guess.

Buying a key from a site like Kinguin or G2A is basically piracy.

 

The keys sold on there are usually not entirely legal.

 

Just buy a Windows Retail Key or use Linux.

Recommending pirated version of any software is against the Community Standards, I would suggest some of you should take the time to read it thoroughly;
