Computer building, I am

lol do a search for it. HRK Gaming sells them as well iirc. So do a few other places. I had an issue at first with the one below. The damn thing just wouldn't activate but after a back and forth with their tech they supplied a new key. That system is still going a few years later. All legit as well. There is a few places out there. Or go the college route if you know someone in college or do a bogus setup for it,lol

I mean I'm new to all of this, I'm not very familiar with how to get around certain things. Definitely want a legit copy.
 
I'm not suggesting anything. I just want windows 10 pro and a legit version. I'm not secretly inferring anything lol
OEM keys are legit. Used by those building custom PC for customers. The builder of the computer is responsible for any warranties, not Microsoft. The keys are far less expensive than buying a full retail version of Windows. Completely legal though.

What I do is all on me ;)

I highly recommend getting a retail copy of Windows 10 since it'll be around for a long time before we move on. It's basically XP where there's going to be growing pains to move away from it. I've upgraded my hardware 3 times since I bought my copy and just continue to use the same key. OEM makes you buy it again if you switch motherboards as that's more or less considered a new computer to Microsoft at that point.

Yeah I agree based on what some people close to me have said.
 
Umm no OEM does not make you buy it again if you switch motherboards. That isn't true this dual boot OS has been on 2 motherboards right now. All you have to do is reactivate it when you do your install.
