  • Is it worth upgrading from Win10home to pro?
    Also, Is the support and updates going to be as normal and no way down the line will it stop? Thanks

    • Yes, if you can do it cheap.

      A lot of things are locked out of Home, like rescheduling the updates, or changing how they're delivered. Also editing group policies which allow you to tweak many annoying things in W10.

      • Amen to that brother. The only reason why I upgraded was the damn auto updates.

        • I wanted full disk encryption on devices which don't meet the minimum for the free W10 encryption which makes it worthwhile.

      • Thanks mate. Will give it a go.

      • Damn I already purchased s Home key after reading comparisons between home and pro. Wish they mentioned this !!

        Would the cheapest way of upgrading be to just by a pro key?

        • Yes.

      • All the settings in the Group Policy Editor are available in the registry for which Microsoft has made available a handy spreadsheet detailing each one and what it's for:

        https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=252…

        Covers Windows 2000 -> 10 and the server editions, (~684kB).

        So even if you're stuck with a Home edition you can still tweak yourself silly.

    • So this key would work from home to pro even if you already have win 10 installed?

      • See my response above. That's how I did it.

    Anyone else getting this on PayPal?
    Fatal error: Uncaught Error:

    • yes me too getting this error while using paypal option.

  • Yep I had the same a few times I just kept trying until it worked.

  • Where do ozbargainers buy windows server essentials 2012 r2 from ?

      reddit….

  • If i purchase, is there a expiry on the key on when it should be activated?

  • Any expiry ?

    And just to clarify, can we use this to upgrade to pro from windows 10 home?

  • I have tried multiple times now and I keep receiving the 'fatal error' message when processing the order through PayPal.. is there any way around this?

    • try different browser

  • WHats the diff between Windows 10 and Windows 10 Pro?

    Get the following error when attempting to add to cart or paypal checkout:

    There has been an error processing your request

    Wow, this website is a bucket of p00. Every time you add to cart, it shows empty cart. Login and then search for deal. Once you click on it, it logs you out. WTF.

    • Try adding another product / version to your cart first and then you should be able to add yours, then remove the other one. Worked for me.
      Received the code in a few minutes. Thanks OP.

        Thanks, am trying this but every time I go to the Windows 10 product page, it logs me out so I lose my cart :( Also seems to just not load the page half the time.

    • i had problems using chrome, so i just loaded firefox and it worked fine.

  • Thank, I got one from last deal and another one from this deal. First time paying for windows on desktop

  • +2

    Negging as unable to complete transaction and redeem deal due to terrible, terrible website.

  • Great deal!!!

    When I bought last time it was over $200!
    I got ripped off. I need another two copies. This is perfect.

    Thanks OP!!!

    Why is this "deal" allowed to stay on the front page I'd like to know… ? These keys are illegal.. You cannot resell an OEM licence under any circumstance.

    • +1

      In Europe you can.

    • +1

      Yep, and all these joyous people not even questioning why. Oh well, I guess fraud isn't high on people's care list until it's them!

      • Just so that I know what to look out for when browsing these online stores, is there any tell tale signs (other than the price I guess) that they're reselling an OEM licence rather than a new one, or is it that "OEM" licences are only issuable by Microsoft?

        Thanks.

        • +1

          Price is the only solid indicator. You can buy OEM from some resellers, but it's still much more than these stores.

    • Microsoft doesn't want you buying it without a new machine, and the agreement is that they are sold together.

      But MS does not dictate the law. 'Illegal' implies it breaches criminal or civil law, which it does not. It's not recognized in any federal or state law.

      Whoever is selling it, it is a breach of Microsoft's agreement, but MS can cry me a river. As long as the keys are recognized as not fake, I don't care. There's 'non-compliant', and there's 'fake'. There's no proof that these are fake as of yet.

      ORIGINAL WINDOWS 7 PRO 32 / 64BIT OEM GENUINE LICENSE KEY SCRAP PC.

      YOU WILL GET A BROKEN MOTHERBOARD THAT COMES WITH THE OEM KEY AS REQUIRED TO COMPLY WITH eBAY POLICY OF OEM SOFTWARE. CONTACT US FOR MORE DETAILS

      I wonder how many broken motherboards he can afford to send to Australia for $6.35?

      • If these keys can activate another computer, theoretically, couldn't the owner of the scrap PC have jotted down the product key and decide to use it themselves later?

        I'd avoid buying a key someone else has used before.

      • +2

        Im sure they don't even bother sending it TBH.

        Win 10! Even better

        • Bought one, never got a mobo but the key worked (came as ebay msg ~1hr later)

    • Lol. Valid reason for a neg as it is way cheaper online on ebay. Good work ..

  • All kinds of trouble trying to pay via paypal last night.

    Put in code this morning, which showed the discount on the purchase page, but when paying via paypal, it went to full price again (!?).

    Then, after paying, says my purchase isn't verified so wanted my phone number to call me (which you have to wait 5 min for the call/text….. 1:30 to go now).

    Meanwhile, they sent the key via email anyway.

    WEIRD!

    • Same issue with me, got the key via email even though verification process failed.

  • +1

    these keys legit? will they expire and be flagged & blocked by MS?

  • I got Verification failed when using the phone feature to verify, however they sent me and email with the Windows KEY, haven't tried it yet, waiting for part to arrived to build my new pc.

  • Please keep in mind that Windows 10 invasive data collection can only (officially) be disabled completely in Enterprise or Education version installs.

    Microsoft have decided that "Professional" users shouldn't be able to control their privacy.

  • Worked for me too. There's no need to verify with a phone number afterwards. Just wait 5 minutes for the email to come through.

  • Ordered something else on this site just then and got all the errors and the need for verification. Will report back if its fixed, been 30 mins or so since the order. - edit a code was sent though.

    • +1

      Replied your PM. You can PM me your email address or order number , i will try to help you to solve your problem.

      • It was sorted shortly after this. Bad website, good customer service.. dont know how to score this one..?

  • Edit: Yay! Key came through

    Haven't received the code following payment. I refuse to do the phone verification as I paid through a verified Paypal account… if it doesn't come through will request refund via paypal :(

    Edit: can't spell

    Careful I just purchased a key and tried it but it didn't work. Trying to contact support now …

    • PM me your order number,i will let the customer service solve your problem quickly

  • Transaction Server / Site down??
    Trying to add anything to cart + Pay with paypal and get this:

    I just want a w10 64bit pro key :(

  • Did Not receive any email after purchase.
    tried some sort of verification on their gamesdeal site and did not go thru, prompting the service team will get back!

  • Ordered an hour ago. Verification failed. No email received yet

  • I've got a friends computer for today (and part of tomorrow only, then she flys home) to update and its on windows vista service pack 1. Will I be able to download windows 10 and install it on this machine? (or do I have to get win7 installed first?)

    Also just notice your website has listed the 64bit, and her machine is only 32bit

    • Whereismedic can you comment please.

  • +1

    They charge a paypal payment fee of 4% which is against Paypal's TOC. And they don't even warn you about it until after you've paid. Dodgy.

    • It's written right under where you purchase on the right, I will admit, they've used a grey text on a grey/black background though - It is the first thing I noticed when I went to add it to my cart.. Maybe I just look closer at these things than others.

      Indeed against their TOC though.

    Ordered this morning (~15 hours ago) and still haven't received key. Paid with Paypal and money came off my credit card straight away but was asked for phone number after verification failure. That also failed and I've heard nothing at all other than an email from Paypal to say the payment went through. Disappointing first (and most likely last) experience with Gamesdeal.

      Check spam folder.

      They should send you an email with verification code.

      • Thanks mate! I had it sent to my gmail account and the spam folder is tucked out of the way. I had actually received it straight away. Stupid me..

  • I have the exact same issue as brianjefferson paid via paypal, money has come off the Credit card, had to verify with my phone number, put the code in, and said

    "Processing Faild,We will send your CD-KEY via Email or You can Click here Go to our Support Center check you order. Thank you!"

    So what do I do from here?

    Don't really want to raise a paypal dispute

    Cheers,

    • Check your email for a verification code.

  • added to cart, but can't complete purchase - now recieve "403 Forbidden" page when I try to refresh.

  • What a crappy website really, didn't work half the time. And when it works, PayPal has issues. Poli doesn't show NAB as an option. Been trying to get a key but darn!

  • Got a new desktop without OS. Will the key for 8.1 ,bought from this site, work for a fresh install ?

  • Something really dodgy going on here.

    I tried to purchase, entered all my details then got an error:

    403 Forbidden
    nginx/1.10.2

    I tried on my iPad, connected to WIFI, same error. I then turned off my WIFI and used mobile data and it worked until I attempted to add to my cart then I started getting the 403 error again.

    Whole site was giving me that error until I restarted my connection, got a new IP address then it worked again.

    TLDR; attempting to purchase this results in Gamesdeal blocking your IP address from accessing the whole site?

    • this happened to me the last three nights, finally managed to complete through paypal tonight, with keys sent via email

    • Gave it another go just now and it seemed to go through straight away - just waiting for the email.

      I tried it at least 5 times over the last few days, each time it would time out then block me from the entire website until I refreshed my IP address

  • +1

    would these keys be blocked my MS later??

  • couldn't add it to the cart.

    edit: followed from the last post
    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/4362907/redir

    add the 32bit with the 64bit as a related product.

  • Ive got a Macbook Pro retina and looking to install Windows onto it. Can I buy this key and install Windows?
