Windows 8.1 for cheap?

Software & Operating Systems Windows

so i watched one of "the tek" episode, dont remeber which one but logan mentioned about you can get a windows 8.1 legit copy for really cheap at forums? is that true ?

2

Yes and no - we had a seller on the forums here for a while, and although it seemed good at first - after a while everyone that bought a key found it was actually a scam. So as of then we do not support or condone selling keys on the forums. As far as where you might get one from, I'm not sure - someone else might be able to help but I have a feeling that you get what you pay for......

You can always pick one up on G2A.com for pretty cheap. They have a service where they guarantee you get a legit key. You can also pay through PayPal and get your money back if the key doesn't work.

Yeah, G2A is a great solution. However be sure to buy and activate the key before July 29th, otherwise you won't get the free windows 10 upgrade.

I think he said he bought a russian copy for super cheap or something like that.

I'm so cheap I'm using Windows 10 beta free

8

Yeah. You can just sign up for it on Windows Insider and they literally give you a free key for testing it.

beta limbo

i have never heard Logan saying anything about this.

Although you are technically correct, I suggest you interject the year e.g. July 29th, 2016. There is no rush for anyone to buy anything, as everyone has over a year to activate an upgrade to Windows 10.

12

He did so on the Tek.. obviously not recently with all the shenanigans going on with non-legit keys etc.

13

ah okay.

yeah long story short, all those cheap key deals you find online, seem to be a scam.
Microsoft blocks certain keys after some period of use.

i would realy recommend, if you ever stamp on such sales somewhere, do not fall into it.
On this community we are not allowing any key sales anymore.

I think I too remember him mentioning cheap copies of Windows from the forum. Not sure if it was on The Tek, though, could've been a build guide too. But it was way back (much like when he was recommedning the Kingston V300 before they changed them).

From what I have heard, if you haven't activated your windows license before the release of Windows 10 you won't be able to upgrade.

Reason: like stated in the rules we are not going to allow any key sales on this forum.
Nor do we allow any linking to such kind of sales.
