OEM key, same as past deals, but cheaper than past cd-key deals!

With Windows 10 Pro, you've got a great business partner. It has all the features of Windows 10 Home, plus important business functionality for encryption, remote log-in, creating virtual machines, and more. Get fast start-ups, a familiar yet expanded Start menu, and great new ways to get stuff done, plus innovative features like an all-new browser built for online action and Cortana, the more personal digital assistant.

After purchase, you can also spin for a free CD key here (likely something crappy, but hey it's a bonus)

Thanks to HUKD

    I feel the need to report this deal.

    • bananabendera on 01/11/2016 - 11:38

      Why?

      • Flyingmoo on 01/11/2016 - 11:40

        They are very unlikely to be proper keys, they might work, but they would be breaching the EULA of the key.
        MS are going after retailers selling keys that break the license. http://www.crn.com.au/news/microsoft-reseller-pays-250000-ov…

        • PainToad on 01/11/2016 - 12:04

          Yep, if you're going to break EULA (which could be blocked at any point), you might as well just pirate.

        • gruso on 01/11/2016 - 12:11

          @PainToad: I've taken a bunch of machines through Win7, 8 and 10 on similar keys. A packet saved. Never a key revoked. This is a far superior option to piracy, as it doesn't put you at risk of modified images or dodgy cracks/keygens.

          @gruso:

          It's not about having them blocked. It's about paying money to someone breaking the law, there by encouraging it.

          If you feel buying ill gotten goods is perfect ok, then im not going to try to convince you otherwise. My moral threshold is just set higher.

          @incipient: There's a high chance these are legal keys purchased with stolen credit cards. Harder to trace and easier to fleece.

          @PainToad:

          So you're saying you might as well pirate Windows 10 rather than buying a fully working key?. Yeah makes a lot of sense there.

        • hollykryten on 01/11/2016 - 15:03

          @ryang:

          More like they may be system refurbisher OEM keys or OEM keys distributed to developing markets at a big discount.

          p.s. I bought a Windows 10 Pro OEM key from another key seller (CDkeyHouse), activated months ago and it's still going fine. So i've had a few months use out of it so far so had my value worth.

          You'll run into problems though from a dodgy seller that's selling the same key to multiple people. That's how the key may get revoked.

        • Major Mess on 01/11/2016 - 15:09

          @PainToad: Except the EULA is not enforcable under Australian law.

          LOL WOT?

          There are no modified images, cracks or keygens involved in using pirate methods - in fact none of those things will work.

        • garage sale on 01/11/2016 - 22:27

          eula is a broad term as microsoft has many licensing options…. oem is for system builders so if you buy parts it's covered ….. never heard of microsoft going to msy and asking which parts were bought with the oem and what the serial numbers were so it can be blocked .if you didn't buy cpu and motherboard LOL ….. the n version is europe …… oem means no help line support as you are supposed to get it from who built your system ….. not sure i want to pay microsoft for phone support anyway LOL ….. i've always bought oem, and last system after i upgraded the cpu and motherboard they reactivated win 10 over the phone……

      You should read the mod comment that OP linked instead.

      I don't know why people get so worked up about this stuff. Oh no! The hallowed Microsoft EULA! This is worse than those terrorists who use a VPN to watch Netflix Canada!

      If it's not illegal, who cares? Paying retail for Windows is lunacy.

      • elzilcho on 01/11/2016 - 12:19

        This might not be legal though.

        • garage sale on 01/11/2016 - 22:31

          there is a difference between legal and breach of a license ….. it's a civil issue, and not financially viable to pursue.

      • incipient on 01/11/2016 - 12:40
        +1

        If it's a breach of the EULA then it's illegal.

        Also people get worked up about companies profiting off illegal activities, you know…laws, the foundation of modern society?

        (…too dramatic?)

        • bargaino on 01/11/2016 - 14:05

          If it's a breach of the EULA then it's illegal.

          No. Law is complex, but this much is simple: it is not illegal to breach any contract, much less a EULA.
          However, there may be some other law broken.

          Breach of EULA could make you liable to compensate MS for losses, in theory. More likely, they will just revoke the key.

        • incipient on 01/11/2016 - 14:21

          @manic:
          Haha very true. I should have said "a breach of the EULA is a civil wrong".

        Cause buying a key, having it work for a month then getting it revoked is a pain in the ass?

          @hollykryten: Ironic that you were hesitant to buy a game through 'dodgy key resellers' but you're happy to buy an operating system from them.

        • garage sale on 01/11/2016 - 22:33

          all my games are from key resellers …..

        • theguyrules on 02/11/2016 - 08:31

          @garage sale: Mine are about 50%. My point is that having an operating system key be revoked is considerably more annoying than having a game key revoked, in my opinion.
          Plus I've never ever had a key reseller game removed from Steam, but I have had it happen with Windows.

        • hollykryten on 03/11/2016 - 17:45

          Yeah i got over that. :)

        • hollykryten on 03/11/2016 - 17:46

          @theguyrules:

          Even if it is revoked. Use a new Windows 10 key. Start, Settings, Update & Security, Activation, Change product key. Solved.

      That is an UPGRADE - (technically) requires an existing licence.

  • chinezejew on 01/11/2016 - 11:48

    Can win7 gain win10 as free upgrade still?

    I did this at the start of the year.
    Win7 pro oem via microsoft swap.
    Then all me pcs can now clean install win10.

    (No need serial key anymore)

    Win7 pro was purchased under $20 from msswap

    • Jamiea on 01/11/2016 - 11:49

      MS Swap is probably even less legitimate than this site.

      • chinezejew on 01/11/2016 - 11:53

        Yup i agree.

        If and when I upgrade my motherboard n cpu; hope it will still install…

        • skrep on 01/11/2016 - 11:58

          even if it does not work (most likely will not work because Win10 signs with the hardware) you are still saving money by purchasing another license from software swap to keep you going for another 2 or so years

      Install Windows 7 and then install Windows 3 as a dual boot.
      Now you have Windows 10 on your machine.
      Windows 7 + Windows 3 = Windows 10!

  • Dubbin on 01/11/2016 - 12:58

    This deal is not for me but I have a related question:

    I have just got a new laptop that came with Win 10 Home, my old one runs on Win 7 Pro but it too old to be able to use Win 10.

    Can I change keys so the new one runs Win 10 Pro and the old one runs Win 7 through downgrade or do I just leave the old key on the old laptop?

    • bargaino on 01/11/2016 - 13:29

      Short answer no. The OEM keys are tied to the hardware. Do you really need the "pro" features?

      • Dubbin on 01/11/2016 - 13:41

        Should have added more info, my old laptop originally came with XP or vista I can't remember, I got a 7pro disk on a very very cheap deal, so its not tied to hardware in my view.

        I requested an upgrade when it was free ages ago but couldn't upgrade my old laptop as the hardware wouldn't allow it, it is still showing upgrade available. Can I use this code to put on my new laptop then upgrade to 10pro?? If I can can I leave the old 7pro on the old one or do I need to use another code?

        • bargaino on 01/11/2016 - 14:03

          I suppose you could try a clean install of Win10 ISO on your new laptop, and give the old win-7pro key. But I think you are too late to activate it.
          If that works, put Linux on your old laptop.

          edit: see http://www.zdnet.com/article/windows-10-free-upgrade-is-stil…

        • uccoffee on 01/11/2016 - 14:07

          @manic:

          the upgrade code should be able to re-activate, but not sure about the OEM home key, can always try to ring MS again. just say the mother board dies and you need to replace something.

          Ring the USA number, they are usually a lot more helpful than AU staff , and even the automating system is better using the USA line, sometimes it doesnt activate in the auto system in AU, but works in the USA.

  • Mister Plod on 01/11/2016 - 13:41

    If you're going to bother with an oem key, may as well get it cheaper.
    I've recently bought a few 10 pro keys from German eBay (use chrome for translate) for about $12 AUD, working just fine, updates and all.

  • sillyhead on 01/11/2016 - 17:55

    I recently revived an old pc in the cupboard with a new power supply. I had a windows 7 pro upgrade key that was linked to that PC before. I installed a new hard drive and ran the windows 10 pro USB key install for a clean install and when i went through the authorisation it just updated to a windows 10 digital key. Didn't expect it to be that easy.

  • Gaz1 on 02/11/2016 - 16:39

    If they can't prove legality of the licence (and at the least it certainly violates OEM rules), I feel these sorts of sellers should be blocked on Ozbargain.
