So my state recently added a law in December requiring Amazon to collect taxes online. I planned on only spending $800 on my pc build plus the price of windows, but I went over budget because of the $56 tax. If you guys could help me get a free copy of windows that I could use in meantime that would be fantastic.

Oh and one last thing, is there a way to just purchase a windows key at a cheaper price? If so, I may be able to do that instead.

Don't pirate Windows software, it'll only be loaded with malware or in the case of a cracked serial, will need to be fiddled with endlessly to keep getting security patches.
Else you could give a Linux distro a try in the interim.
or you could just ( and I will never do this due to my good standing and ethics)... Download the 90 day free trial and use kms pico ... ROFL
That being said if you dont want malware you can crack the key hash for your specific os in a linux distro such as kali with oclhash cat or cuda hash cat ROFL
though in all seriousness get a legit license.. it will help microsoft make a better version (MAYBE ROFL)
