Cheap win 10 licences where to buy

[Spare tyre]

Been given a decent enough Lappy64 bit.

Would like to install win 10, lots of keys on eBay for less than a fiver. Am I going to get the ghost of a gypsie living in my bum if I do this?

Any other thoughts, thanks in advance

Does it currrently have any version of Windows installed? If so you can legitimately upgrade to windows 10 via a download.

I fairly recently changed to win 10 from 7 on a couple of laptops. This was way after the advertised free upgrade offer ended.

Just use this link to make a usb installation.

If the laptop has ever had win 7 installed on it it will work fine and the 10 installation is the easiest ever.

It does, do I need to have the key, or does it do it by some clever checksum thing online

Thankyou

Hi, do I need the key in my hand, or does it grab it by magic


It has a copy of 10 on it, was updated from8 I think

It’s just dog slow, leave it for 3 days doing nothing and the HDD is still thrashing away

I’d like to blank it and start fresh

Many thanks

It will find it - as if by magic - in the BIOS. Windows has been putting it there since Windows 8.

Every day is a school day, that’s probably explain the lack of sticker on the bottom

Thankyou gents
