    Anyone want to sell a Win 10 License?

    I'm building a PC for my boy. Does anyone have Win 10 license? Home or pro is fine

    If this doesn't work, what's the deal with the sites selling them? Which ones are legit and will I get ripped off?

        Ebay has various recycled licences some with OEM stickers. Make sure you get the correct type of licence that suits your build. However, I prefer Linux for my own use.

          The above being retail means not tied to one PC or motherboard of that PC like OEM restrictions, if decide to upgrade or change PC later.

          All a valid product key does is remove the 'activate windows' watermark from the desktop, no additional functionality (other than perhaps changing desktop presentation such as wallpaper or theme) is obtained by getting a licence. Microsoft allow Windows 10 to work fine without one, unlike the days of old where degredation of features occured until complied.

          There is ~zero risk of getting done for running Windows 10 without a licence in a non-commercial setting. Though if Al Capone they may use it to nail you instead of proper serious offences, if they can't dig up anything else evidence wise.

          To start with install Windows 10 and select 'don't have a product key' when it asks during installation, then decide what/where to get a key if a few quid is worth paying to get rid of the watermark.
          Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.

            I'm guessing you have installation media?

                Seriously, it's a hundred quid or so. Can't you afford it?

                    Ah, typical left wing response. You're rich, we're poor, so it's ok if we steal. It's a windows 10 license, not a loaf of bread. If you can't afford it, you're in the wrong line of work. Or you're doing it wrong.
