What is the cheapest way to get a legal copy of windows 10?
>>54681145
Buy it from MS directly.
>>54681145
I'll answer you if you post moar
>>54681145
Isn't it still free? You can download it from Microsoft's site.
"Offer ends 29th July 2016"
illegally obtain it from someone
>>54681145
find some old business PCs being thrown out and copy the win7 key from the label and upgrade
>>54681145
why are women such shameless whores. men truly are the nobler sex
>>54681192
Free only if you have a preexisting Win7/8/8.1 installation.
>>54681221
Download a Windows 7 ISO and install it. I don't think you have to have an activated Windows 7 to do the Windows 10 upgrade.
>>54681145
Why are you trying to appeal to my dick?
>>54681262
You don't need to activate win7 to update, but its state as non-activated WILL carry over.

A lot os companies buy bulk to get price cuts and sell off remaining licenses cheap to make some profit.
>>54681269
Cause you're a dick.
>>54681145
Crack a copy of 7 well and update into a legit version . Ive done this on ten machines in the last year. Worked like a week and a half ago.
>>54681276
Link to proof?
>>54681145

>>54681302
Happened to me
>>54681302
Hes right you need to crack 7 first like I said here.
>>54681299
Same for 8.1.
>>54681145
Go to staples,
They have free win 10 upgrades, even if you had 7/8 or not
>>54681299
I did the same last July on all my family computers and it works.
To save time you clean install 7 and daz load it offine, just connect to let the auth work and avoid updating it at all and use the genuineticket.xml method to just clean install 10 straight away and copy the auth ticket to it, which will auto activate as an upgrade. That's what I did on the ones not running Windows at the time.
>>54681299
That's not legal, though. There is usually a criminal offense that calls such behavior computer fraud or something like that.
>>54681330
Fotgot to mention tickets are machine/hw-id so you can't get one and use it on any, have to be the same machine but still saves a shit load of time.

Universal keys are the ones that get assigned to your install if you upgrade from an earlier version of windows.
https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows10
download that shit, have a flash drive with 4gb or more storage you can format, then install the normal way.
linux has obviously made you people simple.

>>54681145
Another option is to use a college. At my school, hidden in the back pages of the library website and student tools, they had a list of free software that the school gets from some deal with people.
When I had to fix my laptop, I go the ISO from there. It still works.
>>54681145
Install windows 7, activate it with daz loader, perform upgrade to windows 10 and create a microsoft account.
Now you have an activated version of windows 10.
At this point you can even perform a clean installation of windows 10 on the same PC, enter the microsoft account you used before, and get the freshly installed windows 10 activated.

Their keys aren't legit and will stop working after some time or they won't work at all.
Just use Microsoft toolkit, activate win7 and you'll have activated win10.
>>54681508
their keys are from the MSDN, so they are legit.
Am I missing something here? Is there a reason people are upgrading? Why not just stay on 7 or 8.1?
Is there a legit reason to go to 10?
>>54681513
Maybe from some sellers, but a lot of people get scammed on there. I'd recommend not wasting your money on it while you can easily crack windows 7.
>>54681593
Yes, EOL for 7/8 incoming
Doesn't kinguin sells windows 7 keys for only 13 bucks?
>>54681405
Will give it a go.
>>54681215
>>54681215
You truly are a bumder
>buying windows when you can get a free windows 10 upgrade with an "hacktivated" windows 7/8
>>54681761
OP said legal. Read, you stupid buttclencher.
>>54681766
>implying the windows 10 digital entitlement you get from the free upgrade is not legal
>>54681145
lord help me please
>>54681785
See >>54681342. If you hacktivate to obtain it, you're not on legal turf.
>>54681807
then the only way to get a legal copy is to buy it directly from MS or an approved re-seller but certainly not from some sub-reddit
>>54681145
Buy a Windows 7 license for 12€ and then upgrade to Windows 10 for free.
>>54681826
I'm not the subredditfag, though.
Emm, get insider preview?
>>54682027
OP is fucked if that ever runs out, plus IP cranks up the telemetry settings.
>>54682027
you have to be on 10 to get insider preview now. I'm not sure if it has to be activated though.
A while ago I had my tablet on insider preview and when I took it off and reformatted with Windows 10 Pro, it activated so maybe microsoft is still doing that? I started insider preview before it was officially out though,
find old laptop take win 7 key from it, activate by phone
>>54682100
You need to be on 10 for Insider now, yeah.
Uni or school
Dreamspark or whatever its called
I don't remember if I had to pay like 5€ but
I got 3 xp keys, 3 win 7 keys and 3 win 8 keys
And also other stuff like office 2013
do you really need a microsoft account for win10? whats the downside of not using one?
no onedrive and appstore?
i can live with that.
>>54682283
No, you don't need a Microsoft account for win10. Not having one costs you OneDrive, BitLocker, the app store and being able to use Visual Studio Community past 30 days.
>>54681145
whos the bitch?
>>54682353
Jenn kaelin
>>54681145
Be a student and get it from Dreamspark for free
>>54682100
Dunno now, I know it was working tho...
>>54681405
none of the keys work with the the windows iso created by the install medai creator.
ive literally tried every key.
