Windows 11 Registered version for 2.5K?

We also get Retail product keys as well, for the similar price range.

BTW good time to ask a mod - can I post Windows and office keys for sale on the forum ? (as a reseller thread ??) : @PunkX_75

Guranteed that retail ones are also provided : as my own key got stuck to a mobo, after which I had to get a new key, and opted for retail one, and yes it is now bind to the MS account, and whenever I change the mobo on my pc, i perform a clean windows installation, and justlogin from ms account activates it - meaning the key can be transferred from system to system.

While OEM ones, they stick to the pc, no matter what you do, it is basically bound to the BIOS (or the motherboard).

Office, I am not yet sure, cuz I never bought one, nor sold any.
As long as I’ve seen, office are MOSTLY given as annual plans for 499-799 each, depending on version.

Actual keys, gotta look after that.

OT: Bruh I installed Win 10 on mine in 2018. That too because I installed a new ssd. What slowdown!

Aren’t windows keys now linked to your Live account? I have used the same key across two systems now and it has worked seamlessly.

25

Should be fine

Also, I’m not a mod :sob:

I’m flattered you thought of me, as one :speak_no_evil_monkey:

It feels a bit contradictory to say they are “genuine” and then also they “could be stolen” w.r.t how a layperson reading this would understand it. AFAIK, besides the sketchy sources of said keys, you are violating Microsoft’s T&C by using an OEM key for personal use.

At that point, I see no reason for anyone here to even bother paying for an OEM key unless I’m missing something. Just use MAS. Microsoft doesn’t seem to care at all and they have long pivoted to subscription models and targeting bigger enterprises w.r.t legal Windows licensing.

If someone truly wants a proper, Microsoft’s T&C abiding key, they need to pay for the retail version which is a lot more costly.

Yes, they are. However I do not understand how it’s linked to your motherboard too.

Every key is linked to a HWID and account, so a hardware change needs to be activated again.

Volume license keys can be registered multiple times and MAS is the way to go over buying keys from dodgy sources. Worst case you can buy one from sites like Stacksocial where retail Windows Pro key sells for $10 every now and then.

A small correction. MS doesn’t care as long as they don’t detect its software usage in any commercial environment which does have the ability to pay & that incl not just large enterprise but even small startups/family business etc.

No. Other than the fact that it would violate the terms of licensing, see this -

So overall this whole purpose of distribution keys in Git and MOS is to overcome piracy?

34

Genuine - original windows
Could be stolen - their sourcing

Cuz think yourself
If original creator (microsoft) sells it for 15k, how would someone sell for 150rs ?
Def stolen ones

Thanks man
Saved me from committing a crime xD

All I’m saying is OEM keys are not meant for personal use so buying them doesn’t make sense if the expected end result is a valid, MS-approved key for personal use tied to your account. You should buy proper retail keys or not buy OEM keys at all for personal use. That’s all.
