ive seen some people with watermark in games, did some googling and many said there shouldnt be any in games. anyone here has unactivated version? do u see watermark in games?
before u say "just buy it" its WAY too expensive and i've bought 7 vista xp, i will not pay more than $50 for this rip off.
download and install windows 10 for free, buy the corresponding key for a couple bucks from ebay.
If you bought 7 you can use the 7 key to activate 10 in the majority of cases.
so i just use my 7 key after installation and hope it works? i read somewhere they got rid of this free upgrade thing
windows 7 keys still work, even after the "free upgrade period"
nice i just installed 10 for free. didnt know about this lol thought free period was long gone. didnt even need key just went to upgrade.
@Gerry H: The 'upgrade period' has indeed ended. However, Microsoft wants you to use 10, not 7 or 8/8.1. As such, they've let users activate a Windows 10 install with a key from those particular versions. Pro for Pro, Home for Home.
That way, they catch less flak for cutting off 7 Support while people still want to use it.
Yes it’ll come up. Can’t say 100% of the time (I barely notice it anymore) but it definitely has showed.
i believe it goes away in full screen games. either way all keys are available for a couple bucks off ebay, so don't even worry about it.
are those keys legit? i will be needing to reinstall windows every year at least (to clear bloat) so i will be constantly needing to activate, the last thing i want is if they sell the same key to multiple people and i cant activate it again.
Well, can't speak for how legit they are, but myself and literally thousands of others have bought keys for a couple of bucks off eBay rather than spending $150+ from Microsoft.
I've never had any issues with the keys, just make sure you pick a seller with 99% positive feedback and you're good. Even if the key does deactivate a year or so in the future it's only a couple of bucks for a new one, would have to fail 75x to justify purchasing from MS, and if you look online and at feedback the keys don't fail for 99% of people anyway.
Legit as in legal? No, they're volume licenses being sold to individuals which is a breach of the licensing agreement.
Legit as in they're real and work? Technically yes. Although they could in theory be blacklisted because of the above.
