Warning to all (potential) buyers:
This selling website (www.scdkey.uk) is in fact hosted by a never-known company in a poor city (Tongling) of a poor province (Anhui) of China. You can check via here: https://www.scdkey.uk/staticPage/userSafety. You should be worried about where you money going to and how such a lack-of-valid company can provide you a reliable CDKEY, even it might come with a cheap price, you don't want to get involved in any legal or data losing troubles in future due to this doubtful purchase, I assumed.
In fact, this website (company) is trying to cheat everyone. If you switched around the 'regions' of this website operated (look right top side), you can see that in English US and English UK, in 'About Us' section, it didn't state where this company located. But if you switched to France and Italy, it then stated (faked) itself in 'About Us' section as located in Hong Kong! But look at the information provided in above: this company is actually located in a little city of mainland China. I assumed that is some kinds of cheating, information misleading, etc.?
I knew many people look for a cheap CDKEY anyway but hey, why pay to a cheating company when you might still have a chance to get some FREE cdkey or resources from somewhere else?

They usually pay based on the ticket price of the machine. Some low end (netbooks, atom tablets, etc) machines get free licenses. Refurbished OEM keys are about $6 a pop.

Cos they're illegal. Note the wording on the website, it says 'Windows Key' and not 'Windows licence'. From windows 10, the only legal place to buy a windows licence is from Microsoft.

I'm not sure what point you're making? As I understand it, if you already have the Pro version of Win 7/8 installed (or a Pro licence key) then the free update via Microsoft will be to Win 10 Pro (and obviously Win 7/8 Home updates to Win 10 Home) without needing to enter this or any other new licence key.
I believe the licence key in this deal is to allow you to perform a clean/new install of Win 10 Pro, regardless of what existing OS, if any, is on the machine.

When you do free upgrade from 7 to 10 - you get home edition
there is a difference between windows home and windows professional.
your average pc user however will only need windows home

Just like the Opium Pulse deal for Windows licenses that are of very questionable legitimacy, you may wonder if a website could earn some sort of commission based on click throughs. If such a click through could earn your website some money then you may have discovered the answer to your question.
spannerzone
26 Nov 161#127
That's around the price you'll pay for a legitimate (most likely OEM) version - anything that's considerably less is almost certainly not a genuine legitimate licenced version.
There are many many companies that often appear to be a UK based company (but are usually not) selling Win 10 for £15 to £25 - be very suspicious of them all.
Thanks
26 Nov 16#126
Does anyone know where I can get a good value genuine copy of Windows 10? I don't have the upgrade option so I need to do a full install. The only versions from reputable sellers seem to be £80+... :disappointed:

Windows 10 - the bane of my life.
WHY did I upgrade?
F. updates etc almost daily that just f. up and alter everything about the way I want to work.
I got more done and quicker on a Apple Classic in the 80s.
I simply HATE Windows 10 and Microsoft. Last week I couldn't even access Edge so went to Explorer but now M.Edge is back - Hooray! Thank god for small mercies. Daily I get message after message... Especially this one: Would you recommend your Windows 10 build to a friend?
YOU MUST BE F. JOKING!!!!
Edit to add
Perhaps I should say, I have friends who have bought with 10 already installed and don't seem to have so many problems, if any. However, I have yet to meet anyone in my circles who has 'upgraded' to 10 who does not have continual problems. So there you have it. If you ain't getting problems, lucky ol' you.

I bought this OEM key to upgrade a Dell laptop from Windows 10 Home to Pro and had problems.
I formatted the HDD on the laptop, downloaded a copy of Windows 10 Pro (supposedly) Rebooted to the new Windows 10 ISO and no key was asked for. Win 10 home just installed instead. I was never asked for a product key.
I entered the new key into "change my product key" and it was rejected. In desperation (I still don't know why I tried it) I entered my old Win 8.1 Pro product key and it just updated to Windows 10 Pro.
I have been told that the there is a digital license installed on any machine supplied with Windows 10 so just trying a new OEM key will not work. It make work on a genuine new build but not as an upgrade.
Get these for £3-5 from the likes Aliexpress and DHGate

Anyone considering Windows 10 might want to read this,
One of the biggest worries, though, is Microsoft’s policy on disclosing or sharing your personal information. The following is an excerpt from the privacy policy:
“We will access, disclose and preserve personal data, including your content (such as the content of your emails, other private communications or files in private folders), when we have a good faith belief that doing so is necessary to protect our customers or enforce the terms governing the use of the services.”
According to Ars Technica, even after you tell Microsoft that Windows 10 shouldn’t make any Internet-related inquiries while you’re using it, it appears that Windows 10 still pings Microsoft for various information.
I have stupidly bought such key from one of these websites before. After 8 months, the company go busted and I need to reformat my rig, the key simply not working. Job done and money wasted.
Be careful!!!

I'm surprised, people knowingly want to put spyware on their computer.
Like the many who give their soul to Google just for "free" products, like Android/Chrome.
Have some decency and self-respect people, while you still some-what have free-speech and own your own thoughts.
You wouldn't want to live in a glass house or go to a glass toilet, so why give yourself so cheaply to Google and now Microsoft?
Stick to Windows 7/8 and turn off suggested updates (apply only critical security updates), and opt-out of "Customer Experience" program and you'll be fine for many years to come.
The more people shun Google's soul-selling products and Microsoft's Windows 10, the more companies will be forced to create privacy-orientated systems and apps.
Sorry for the rant, but this stuff drives me crazy, and should you also :disappointed:

26 Nov 16#102
You don't even have to even use that link.. you can just download the current windows 10 anniversary update from the Microsoft website and install using any existing win 7 or 8 license key as a clean install or an upgrade. Microsoft didn't remove that from the current update so it still works a treat!
Trustpilot are untrustworthy! They charge companies for reviews but also remove bad ones if the company complains (and is still paying their subscription), when a company stops using them they allow bad reviews to flood in.
There's not many truly independent verified review websites these days, you can pay people to write thousands of reviews, fake facebook likes and instagram and twitter followers etc.

Used them last week and here is a review i left on trustpilot with my experience.
They then reported me to trustpilot saying
I had the review removed by trustpilot until i provided details of my account, which i couldn't as they had removed any record of me from their website. just wish i had screenshotted my conversation with the always on "Claire".

It's clearly illegal. The consumer will eventually get screwed over. You can get W10 free if you just look around.
People who defend such companies boggle my mind. You can do whatever you want it's your money in the end but at least inform the consumer as objectively as possible so he knows what it is he's buying.

According to your message, I checked this website on WebRankStat, it indicated that, this website is hosting in the US - Ashburn, Virginia, with the IP address of 52.44.151.88, so, if this website's existent is all over the world, then we should question how genuine it is.
Be very careful. I bought this to upgrade from win 10 to 10 Pro. It doesn't do that. I had a long tussle on their chat but couldn't make it work. Eventually I had to resort to PayPal to get a refund.

I got the code within 5 minutes of verifying my account by email (and the PayPal payment clearing).
BUT - they don't email it to you, as I assumed they would. You have to go into 'My Account' -> 'Orders' and there is a 'View Codes/Keys' button next to the order.
Hope that helps!

go here - this is how i upgraded mine after installing windows 7 on my SSD
Wasn't going to bother commenting but here's my 2cents.
OEM keys are completely legal. The Supreme Court ruled over any organisation stating what can and cannot be done with a license after it's first sold quite some time ago.
Ignore the scare-mongering keyboard warriors with the legal credentials of monkeys, who think they've passed the bar. You'll find them scouring every online forum.
That being said, THESE OEM keys are most likely being re-sold to numerous people or they're volume keys which in turn will eventually be blocked. It's a Chinese company after all!
You should buy from a UK company at least.
You can easily check if a key is OEM or not by using a simple PID checker online.
Microsoft can say what they like, but are not the law of the land, fortunately.

It's not the actual install program that is or isn't legitimate, it's the licence key. And these aren't.

This is prob easier, but I think what Stoofa is saying that either way, you still don't have a legitimate, legally licenced copy if windows.

Download the legitimate windows 10 from Microsoft then use an activator. No hassle at all. Just as legal as buying and using these licenses from china!

Couple of notes and tips on win 7 to 10 updates that failed, when the win 7 fail to update as I'd had 2 do it, it naffs he auto update program and microsoft have to remote and sort it out so check this on yours.
If you did try to update and failed you can still get win 10 as it logs your pc as try'd to install before the cut off. Agaon get microsoft online to do the install.

LOL - it is so funny how some people get upset on here when they are told what they are buying is not a legal licence key. As I said in the other post, do what you want. But if you think by paying less than large OEM's do for a Windows licence you are somehow magically legal and running a legitimate copy of Windows you are just so deluded. I don't understand why anyone would pay someone £12 when they can get the same result for nothing just looking online.

Never heard of them being rejected After activation :smirk:
I believe the licence key in this deal is to allow you to perform a clean/new install of Win 10 Pro, regardless of what existing OS, if any, is on the machine.
there is a difference between windows home and windows professional.
your average pc user however will only need windows home
There are many many companies that often appear to be a UK based company (but are usually not) selling Win 10 for £15 to £25 - be very suspicious of them all.
WHY did I upgrade?
F. updates etc almost daily that just f. up and alter everything about the way I want to work.
I got more done and quicker on a Apple Classic in the 80s.
I simply HATE Windows 10 and Microsoft. Last week I couldn't even access Edge so went to Explorer but now M.Edge is back - Hooray! Thank god for small mercies. Daily I get message after message... Especially this one: Would you recommend your Windows 10 build to a friend?
YOU MUST BE F. JOKING!!!!
Edit to add
Perhaps I should say, I have friends who have bought with 10 already installed and don't seem to have so many problems, if any. However, I have yet to meet anyone in my circles who has 'upgraded' to 10 who does not have continual problems. So there you have it. If you ain't getting problems, lucky ol' you.
That software won't help.
I formatted the HDD on the laptop, downloaded a copy of Windows 10 Pro (supposedly) Rebooted to the new Windows 10 ISO and no key was asked for. Win 10 home just installed instead. I was never asked for a product key.
I entered the new key into "change my product key" and it was rejected. In desperation (I still don't know why I tried it) I entered my old Win 8.1 Pro product key and it just updated to Windows 10 Pro.
I have been told that the there is a digital license installed on any machine supplied with Windows 10 so just trying a new OEM key will not work. It make work on a genuine new build but not as an upgrade.
One of the biggest worries, though, is Microsoft’s policy on disclosing or sharing your personal information. The following is an excerpt from the privacy policy:
“We will access, disclose and preserve personal data, including your content (such as the content of your emails, other private communications or files in private folders), when we have a good faith belief that doing so is necessary to protect our customers or enforce the terms governing the use of the services.”

Another article states,
According to Ars Technica, even after you tell Microsoft that Windows 10 shouldn’t make any Internet-related inquiries while you’re using it, it appears that Windows 10 still pings Microsoft for various information.

I have stupidly bought such key from one of these websites before. After 8 months, the company go busted and I need to reformat my rig, the key simply not working. Job done and money wasted.
Be careful!!!
Like the many who give their soul to Google just for "free" products, like Android/Chrome.
Have some decency and self-respect people, while you still some-what have free-speech and own your own thoughts.
You wouldn't want to live in a glass house or go to a glass toilet, so why give yourself so cheaply to Google and now Microsoft?
Stick to Windows 7/8 and turn off suggested updates (apply only critical security updates), and opt-out of "Customer Experience" program and you'll be fine for many years to come.
The more people shun Google's soul-selling products and Microsoft's Windows 10, the more companies will be forced to create privacy-orientated systems and apps.
Sorry for the rant, but this stuff drives me crazy, and should you also :disappointed:
There's not many truly independent verified review websites these days, you can pay people to write thousands of reviews, fake facebook likes and instagram and twitter followers etc.
They then reported me to trustpilot saying
I had the review removed by trustpilot until i provided details of my account, which i couldn't as they had removed any record of me from their website. just wish i had screenshotted my conversation with the always on "Claire".
Use at your peril.
It's clearly illegal. The consumer will eventually get screwed over. You can get W10 free if you just look around.
People who defend such companies boggle my mind. You can do whatever you want it's your money in the end but at least inform the consumer as objectively as possible so he knows what it is he's buying.

BUT - they don't email it to you, as I assumed they would. You have to go into 'My Account' -> 'Orders' and there is a 'View Codes/Keys' button next to the order.
Hope that helps!

OEM keys are completely legal. The Supreme Court ruled over any organisation stating what can and cannot be done with a license after it's first sold quite some time ago.
Ignore the scare-mongering keyboard warriors with the legal credentials of monkeys, who think they've passed the bar. You'll find them scouring every online forum.
That being said, THESE OEM keys are most likely being re-sold to numerous people or they're volume keys which in turn will eventually be blocked. It's a Chinese company after all!
You should buy from a UK company at least.
You can easily check if a key is OEM or not by using a simple PID checker online.
Microsoft can say what they like, but are not the law of the land, fortunately.
Just a bit 'Iffy' to say the least.

I wouldn't pirate Windows as you will be installing rootkit/virus/worm/trojan at most root level , bye bye security + privacy, at least with REAL windows you know where your data's are being sent ....
This is a deals website after all.
This selling website (www.scdkey.uk) is in fact hosted by a never-known company in a poor city (Tongling) of a poor province (Anhui) of China. You can check via here: https://www.scdkey.uk/staticPage/userSafety. You should be worried about where you money going to and how such a lack-of-valid company can provide you a reliable CDKEY, even it might come with a cheap price, you don't want to get involved in any legal or data losing troubles in future due to this doubtful purchase, I assumed.
In fact, this website (company) is trying to cheat everyone. If you switched around the 'regions' of this website operated (look right top side), you can see that in English US and English UK, in 'About Us' section, it didn't state where this company located. But if you switched to France and Italy, it then stated (faked) itself in 'About Us' section as located in Hong Kong! But look at the information provided in above: this company is actually located in a little city of mainland China. I assumed that is some kinds of cheating, information misleading, etc.?
I knew many people look for a cheap CDKEY anyway but hey, why pay to a cheating company when you might still have a chance to get some FREE cdkey or resources from somewhere else?
If you did try to update and failed you can still get win 10 as it logs your pc as try'd to install before the cut off. Agaon get microsoft online to do the install.
My only experience is just in the last 15 mins, but a quick online chat with their support left a lot to be desired.
The whole thing feels fishy, and I reckon I've just lost 12 quid. Hope that's all I've lost.
It is not possible to sell OEM keys this cheap, think of the profit margin.
Lol. It's really funny how upset some people get when they are told they are not buying legal keys. as I said last time, people can do as they please. but if you think you are getting legal keys paying less than large OEM do, you're kind of deluded.
It says on the site you can download here
Notes: You should install Windows 10 Pro system first here ,https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 , then activate the code ;
no further actions offered.
i did enter their new key AFTER but frankly feels like a let down going legal.
You know it feels so good being immoral. Santa won't be delivering grimble pressies to me!
