Saw this bargain price for the Win10 professional, it's an OEM version. If anyone is looking to upgrade? It's not bad value from what Microsoft want for the operating system.

Tried this couple of weeks ago and key was revoked 48hrs after input. Ended up with a paypal refund. Avoid.

Always curious that these dodgy deals that are based in a shed in China or a bedroom in Bosnia never get pulled yet other VAT and Tax paying UK companies are banned from having deals posted. I can't imagine why this could possibly be happening but clearly just slips through the net..........

OEM version? For real? Unlikely...

Indeed. This is most likely a volume licence key being sold against the rules (EULA) so Microsoft will most likely revoke it at some future point.
It is basically the same as bootlegging Windows (except for not having to install any potentially dodgy bootloaders which could be rootkits).
About the only thing which might work for these is what was pointed out in previous threads: get one of these dodgy keys for Win7/8 and use it to upgrade to Win10 so that Microsoft give you a new key. Then the new key Microsoft give you *might* not get revoked. Or at least that is the opinion, but you'd think it would be trivial for Microsoft to associate the old key to the new one and revoke both!

I bought a windows 10 OEM key online a few months ago for about the same price, It is yet to be revoked.

I too tried this, about a week ago for a Win 10 Key, however my key is working perfectly fine.

Vendor didn't make the refund easy. I think its my first referral to Paypal in a couple of years and thankfully they saw the light.
