Soo about OS , when i get my NEW PC (HELL YEAH) i obviously need an OS but , i spent all my money on the system already and i saw many ways of getting free Windows 10, the No product key ways 

What are the Goodies and badies of the no Product Key way , and i saw you can buy Code Keys of Ebay instead of like my retailer for like 150$-130$.

Most keys on ebay are OEM keys, (the $10 ones) so the came from old computers. They seem to work, but I have no Idea if they work long-term.

There are several ways that are not terribly legal but are very hard to get caught doing. Even if you were caught you could say that you were scammed and probably get away with a warning. If you are a business, you technically need a Pro license but I can think of a few that don't. Something you can do is try third-party websites like eBay or bonanza.com as you can usually find someone selling some on there that can deliver a license in a few hours. However, you can use Linux, or leave windows unactivated (biggest issue is the Activate Windows watermark present after 24 hours). I was able to use Windows 10 unactivated for several months and never cared until I got tired of the watermark and used a third-party seller to get a windows 10 pro license for $10 on bonanza.com.

Currently using one in my personal computer. Biggest downside is no support from Microsoft (honestly you aren't missing much support)

i know about that but does it still have all the features of security and updates ?

yupp my cheap friend uses it just fine and I'd know if he had any issues because he whines about everything (also just use a solid anti virus like the free version of bit defender).

I'm not allowed to offer you help on finding the legit place to download Microsoft Toolkit, which contains AutoKMS. Doing so would be against forum rules. 

The legit one will show up in windows defender and must be allowed first, so it can be hard to tell what is legit, should you ever be so bold as to search for it.

So far it has for me. I haven't updated it since spring creators update since it is not an often used computer. But on my main computer, I have had no issue for over a year.

What OEM means in that whole story , and dont you think buying From ebay is fine ? i mean buying from a guy who has good rating and he has like tons of Products ?
