[ThatGuy...]

I'm currently designing a pc and i dont know what the cheapest way of getting windows 10 - i live in the U.K

Grey market is cheapest however the legitimacy is always in doubt.

 

Kinguin, G2A, r/microsoftsoftwareswap etc etc.

You don't need a key to install or use windows 10 just use their media creation tool

Err what? You need a key otherwise after 30 days your computer goes into lock down mode, most configuration options stop working entirely and every time you boot up you get an annoying popup telling you to activate.

Doesn't happen in windows 10 at all, the desktop background isn't even locked anymore.

All you get is a watermark and a locked taskbar.

Really? I guess it fits with Microsofts policy of getting users onto Windows 10 no matter what.

They steal all of your data and have advertisments baked into the software.

 

and they knew everyone pirated it anyways so might as well make it safe to do that probably. More people using win10 the better.

Amazon UK. Less than £10.00 at present for Win 10 Pro, just make sure you use the key as soon as you get it.

Changing themes from actual options IS locked. But bg can be changed with another method. Otherwise its true that its less locked down than previous versions.

Disclaimer: This is marketplace key. Amazon is only handling payments. It falls in same category with Kinguin and other cheap key sites.

^ This, however, there are ones fulfilled by Amazon too apparently (not exactly sure how that works, but...), the above still likely applies.

They are still same. Fullfilled only mean that Amazon is used as handler. They will send key, but aren't responsible if key doesn't work or is sold again without buyers consent.
