| 1448437 | 2018-04-15 23:31:00 | There's the "grey market" keys, the legality of which is questionable. What the sellers claim is the keys come from damaged hardware that was never activated or maybe from computers supplied with an unwanted OS. Buying them is a crapshoot though, they may or may not activate and some future windows update could invalidate them even if they do activate. Depends where they really came from, a legitimate OEM key from dead hardware would still be worth more than the $3-10 you typically find these listed for. I'll confess to having bought some of these keys as an experiment. 3 from one seller for $15 total none of which worked (windows activation service said they had been used before), and one from another seller for $4 which actually did work. If you want to try it search Ebay for windows keys and sort by price but it is a gamble all round, read the feedback and be prepared to waste your money. |
