Where To Purchase Windows 10 Pro OEM Key?

[Kuroodo]

Am building a new PC, have everything except an OS.

I am looking for Windows 10 pro OEM 64bit.

Amazon has them, but too many reviews with fake keys being sold.
B&H also lists them, but they've been out of stock for over a week.

I need a reliable place to buy the OS (not G2A or such places please). Anyone know where?.

Just go to a local computer shop. Or buy them on the Microsoft store: https://www.microsoftstore.com

This is why you should generally check reviews on the seller. Make sure that they have a good number of recent positive reviews. If they have only a few reviews or even just reviews that are years old, it's better to be safe and avoid those.

Microsoft store only sells the retail versions (which are about $50 more expensive). I will check local computer shops though, thanks.

I was considering this one, but too many reviews where the key is scratched to an unreadable state do to a silver sticker. I don't want to take any chances or have any complications.

then just get it from microsoft
shouldnt be all that difficult

Yes its more expensive, but you'll have to choose one way or another.
If there is a BestBuy near you i believe they sell them also, or any similar store.

Or buy it here https://www.walmart.com/ip/Microsoft-Windows-10-Professional-64-Bit-Edition/46370761

Or just install the OS and be done with it.
If you really need a key, that can be purchase inside the OS itself.
It doesn't require any key to install/use the OS.

I didn't know this. Does it act like some sort of trial or something?

You can just download the OS from the microsoft website and install it wilhout a key. Then you have 30 days (I think) to activate the OS. If you do not activate it the OS will remain fully functional the only thing is the desktop background will turn black and there will be a water mark on the bottom left on the desktop that tells you that Windows is not activated.

Still fully function OS without any key/activation; except it will not let you use Microsoft Store.
That and the water-mark on Desktop. No big deal.

[Kuroodo]

That's great news. Thanks for this information!
Looks like I'll be building my new PC today.

Thanks to all of your for your responses.

If you already have a pc with a legit w10 copy, since anniversary update you can link your w10 license with your microsoft account, so even if you change mobo/build a new pc, you still have that license.

You can get a key for Pro for about £25 ($30) if you're looking in the right places.

Or

If you have a valid Windows 7 or Windows 8 (8.1) key you can still upgrade to Windows 10 for free through this: https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/accessibility/windows10upgrade

There's no qualification for this upgrade according to Microsoft, but then you might use the accessibility options. You'd need to install Windows 7 or Windows 8 and then upgrade.

Once you've installed Windows 10 Pro through that method I'd recommend running Fresh Start / System refresh so you just have raw Windows 10 Pro x64 and nothing left behind.

Don't even need to do that; just install Win10 and enter a valid Win7/8 key
