You can tell what the current state of how to licence Microsoft products is when the answers thus far can't directly answer the question.


Until someone else can give a better method and price, Amazon is the most straight forward, legal, way to buy a licence that I know of.

u/dublea · 6 pointsr/geek

>Previous versions of the operating system did not require a first-world internet connection to work.

Um, just like all previous version of Windows, one can buy a retail CD to install it. It depends on where/how you purchased it.

So, I now "shift blame" onto your choice when you bought it.

u/BillNyeTheRussianGuy · 4 pointsr/Showerthoughts
  1. Lmao you still pay for the games with the subscription. You give MS money, they lend you the games. Sounds like paying to me...

  2. I agreed with you, calm down. It's just not for "professional use".

    When you buy a computer, the OS is in the cost. When you build a Computer, you still have to pay. Even if it's upgrading an old os.

> but you can't just but a new OEM key. OEM keys can only be purchased with a new computer (or significant amount of hardware)

Yes you can... you can even buy them on Amazon all by itself.

u/meatwad75892 · 3 pointsr/Windows10

The PC you used to create the Win10 media has absolutely nothing to do with the other PC.


Yes, you can use the media to clean install, but the OS won't be activated once you're done. If this is a newly built PC with no prior OS, you must properly license it-- you need to buy a copy of Windows 10.


You can choose the OEM or Full copy. There's a difference of $25 between the two types of licenses; the difference is that per the licensing terms, OEM licenses are legally bound to a single piece of hardware and are not transferable to new machines. The Full license(the boxed copy), however, legally lets you move the license from one machine to another. So if you build another PC down the road, or change the motherboard in your current one, you can re-use that copy on the new machine and still be in compliance with Microsoft licensing. People often re-use OEM keys elsewhere anyway(they usually have a few grace activations), but it's technically against the OEM license terms to do so, thus they're not fully in compliance of Microsoft licensing despite having an activated OS.

Hi there, I'm planning on buying windows from amazon and it comes in a disc form. I'm not getting an optical disc drive for my build, so how would I download the OS onto the computer? I have a laptop to use on the side.

You could probably go even cheaper than that: the games you list have low requirements and could run off of an AMD APU processor, but you might not get ultra gfx. Which I assume is part of the point of modding these games, so I put a newish GPU in the build. LMK what you think!

Amazon USB or Amazon CD, both of which come with product codes. Or you can just buy it off of the official Windows 10 store. Go to Activation in the settings

u/TrashbagTony · 2 pointsr/buildapc

Sorry, but another question. I'm planning on buying from amazon and there's reviews where they got an invalid key. I'm buying straight from Microsoft, should I still worry about this?

u/Misspells_Just · 2 pointsr/buildapc

I recommend getting a "retail" version of win10 (costs $120 on Amazon) and not an "OEM" version (costs $100 on Amazon).

The OEM key can only be used on the first activated computer. If you plan on doing a new build or need to replace the MOBO you need to buy a brand new product key.

With the retail version if you want to upgrade or need to replace the MOBO you can deactivate the key on your current system and then transfer the key to the latest and greatest (you cannot have the same key active on multiple devices though).

I believe Microsoft's website only sells retail versions (and does not sell OEM) but if looking elsewhere (like Amazon or Newegg) the retail version is normally ~$20 USD more expensive than OEM but well worth it if you are considering upgrading in the future^1.


^1 Windows 10 is the last "planned" version of the Windows OS, so getting the retail version means you have one key that "should" last for the rest of your life.

Edit: Added links for reference and added some clarity.

u/Shadestones · 2 pointsr/Windows10

It used to be $120 for the Home edition, but they increased the price this year.

You can buy a single-use OEM license + DVD (not necessary, but it comes with it.) from Amazon, but changing hardware like the Motherboard in the future might cause it to deactivate. It's not as likely anymore, but there's still a risk.

u/unibrow4o9 · 2 pointsr/buildapc

Motherboards don't store data, Hard Drives do that. And no, hard drives don't come with Windows either, you'll have to buy your own copy of windows. You'll need to buy something like this

u/Rayezilla · 2 pointsr/buildapc

pretty solid first build imo, I'm not super familiar with the new Ryzen chips, being an intel guy in general. An extra $22 would get you a m.2 SSD, which is worth considering. Do you need windows 10, I don't see an OEM License in there, don't forget the extra cost.

You could bring your RAM speed down to 2400 and cut out the LEDs, this would save you $40. You will not notice any speed difference at all unless MAYBE if you overclock your ram.

Just a few thoughts, it seems like a well thought out build.

u/themeatbridge · 2 pointsr/buildapc

You can buy it. I'm pretty sure it's cheaper elsewhere.

u/daguil68367 · 2 pointsr/buildapcforme

Imposible to get an i5, OS, keyboard, and monitor, for less than $600, but I can do this for $600;

I'm not a uni student yet (hopefully I get accepted to the UC schools I applied to :) ). Let's say I download W10 through the ISO by USB, should I buy the Windows 10 64 Bit Full version as a DVD, and use the code since it is cheaper to get than by USB??

Here is the DVD one which is cheaper than the USB: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ZSI7Y3U?keywords=Windows%2010%2064%20bit&qid=1451768074&ref_=sr_1_1&sr=8-1

u/tgm4883 · 1 pointr/linux_gaming

That's possible I suppose, this is what I ordered which was fulfilled by amazon (meaning they had the product, but it was a 3rd party's product). it came in a cardboard CD shipping case with Microsoft's details and logos on it with the key sticker attached. My point is that this issue is a Microsoft invented one that I don't have to deal with on Linux and not the first time I've had to contact Microsoft regarding key's not working (eg. after replacing certain hardware).

u/revilowaldow · 1 pointr/bootcamp

And that's illegal; but hey, do what you want.
I'd recommend just buying it from Amazon tbh.
An OEM copy would be ~$90 (chart). Think of that as buying 3 good quality games and then think about the amount of time you'll spend using Windows.

u/MarsXIV · 1 pointr/buildapc

Hey! I recently ordered the components for a new pc and it's all put together and ready for OS installation. Unfortunately there was some delay in the delivery of the OS. My friend (whom I copied my build from) offered to let me use his installation disk if I could find a CD key. My question is: Will the "download" option on the microsoft site provide a CD Key that works for Windows 10 64bit OEM? I figure I will use my late-arriving windows for a future project or something. I'd rather not waste the weekend staring at my beautiful useless machine! XD

u/Alarid · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

How about this or this?

u/BruceLeeSin · 1 pointr/buildapc

Looks pretty good. As far as saving money goes, you can get a cheaper motherboard but that's about it unless you wanted to downgrade something.

Here's the cheapest Z170 mobo with SLI support and good reviews I could find.

You can save a couple bucks on ram.

Windows 10 went down to 79.00 on amazon, but I don't see it on pcpartpicker.

Can sacrifice some storage on the HDD if you needed to.

You also have two keyboards on there, not sure if intended or not.

Not saving you much money though.

Edited a list in. Other than this, you can browse r/buildapcsales and see if anything comes up there.
The i7-6700k has been going on sale at different retailers quite frequently the last couple months.

Then you are better off buying a license from Microsoft.

You can either buy a license code (OEM) or with an included Windows 10 installation USB.

u/Xander471 · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

You're seeing stuff from people who bought it from a reseller and not from actual Amazon then. If it's straight from Amazon, you should have an as-good-as-retail copy.

u/PandaPropaganda_ · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

If you want to get a USB version for cheaper just go to best buy pick out the windows 10 home version and then show them this Microsoft Windows 10 Home 64 Bit System Builder OEM | PC Disc https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ZSI7Y3U/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_rNrzwb5YFAEPS they will price match it and you can get it for about $20 cheaper, I actually did that yesterday for my new build.

u/rhyno37 · 1 pointr/buildapc

That would make things a lot easier. The only SSD for that price and size is this Sandisk. Think it'd be decent?

And then in regards to Windows 10 do I want just the general Windows Home 10 on a flash drive or the System Builder version? Someone once told me not to get the system builder because it can't be transferred if you get a new computer?

u/grevenilvec75 · 1 pointr/windows

u/shit_eatin_grin · 1 pointr/Entrepreneur

Not trolling. A Dell is also a Windows PC. So is an Acer and those can be incredibly inexpensive. Windows designates the operating system. If this isn't a Windows PC, what is it? It comes with Windows 10 on it. Microsoft doesn't make the PC (but does make the Windows installed on it).

Windows= OS. You can even buy Windows without the PC part.

Let's go back a step here. Do you know what an OS (operating system) is?

u/ZeroPaladn · 1 pointr/buildapc

If you got it from Amazon, anyone who's not "Sold and Fulfilled by Amazon" or "Microsoft" may not be an authorized retailer, especially if the key is significantly cheaper than what they, or Microsoft, actually sell it for.

Regardless of the specifics, anything significantly cheaper than the key I linked above is grey market and is not allowed on this subreddit. If you believe that I am still being unfair or that your key is 110% legitimate, you can modmail us the link to where you got it from and we can evaluate from there.

I know this listing for Windows 10 Home has been as low as $80 before, but it's the DVD version so you'd have to make your own bootable USB drive to install it if you don't have an optical drive.

u/doglord99 · 1 pointr/buildapc

If you're talking about something like [this] (https://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Windows-Home-System-Builder/dp/B00ZSI7Y3U/ref=sr_1_2?s=software&ie=UTF8&qid=1498241372&sr=1-2&keywords=windows+10) (which is $92.99 for me, don't know if that's only for prime), then you can still use it without a drive. You can install via USB and then use the key.

 

If you want the drive, go for it, but I just wanted you to know all your options.

 

EDIT: Another option is that you can hold off on the drive now, and if you find yourself needing one down the road, just purchase a USB one. That way you're not spending money you don't need to, and you have more flexibility on case choices.

Amazon - Win 10 System Builder


Amazon - Win 10 Home

Read the Q/A for the first one, it sums up the difference pretty well. Basically the liscence is tied to the motherboard, so you're back to running non-genuine if you switch it out. Also, I wouldn't trust any website like redacted that sells keys cheaply. Generally those are stolen with CC fraud or similar tricks.

Amazon has it for $92. Win10 at Amazon

and Outlet PC has it for $100 with a $10 rebate. OutletPC

Assuming Win 10 Home 64b.

So if I purchase this , I will get a package in the mail that has a Windows install disk and a license key correct? I'll already have windows installed but I will need to just enter that key in order to actually activate windows?
Sorry if these are silly questions. I've never built my own PC before and therefore have never had to actually install windows.

It's just the Windows 10 Home Disc.

This disc comes with a product key right? I don't have an optical drive but need to activate win10.

Looking for Windows 10 Pro, 64 Bit to install on my pc build, found this:

https://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Windows-Home-System-Builder/dp/B00ZSI7Y3U/ref=sr_1_7?s=software&ie=UTF8&qid=1511203215&sr=1-7&keywords=windows+10+professional+64+bit&dpID=41us3IirK-L&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

Appears to be a legitimate copy of Windows though I am confused by "OEM". What does OEM in this context?

Also, Since my PC build will not have an optical drive can I pop the disc in my work laptop that does and put the installer on a USB drive to plug into my build?

u/E3FxGaming · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

Windows 10 is a software for which you need a license key (to fully and legally be allowed to use it). This key can be purchased directly from the Microsoft Store, from 3rd party retailers like Amazon, as well as from other people (can‘t help you there, because I‘ve never done that).

The software itself can be downloaded as an ISO from this Microsoft Website, which can then be used to create a bootable USB flash drive with software like Rufus.


Everything I‘ve said plus much more can be found (with pictures) in this How-To-Geek guide

Windows is the easy part so I'll start with that: [$85 on Amazon] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ZSI7Y3U).

With video editing as the primary focus, the i7-6700K is going to be your target at that budget-- and while it is overclockable, you don't need to overclock it to get better performance than the i7-6700. [This build also has an RX 480] (https://www.theaipc.com/result/c1468166669259) which should give you good to very good performance at 1080p on almost all games-- though wait a bit for it to start coming back in stock if you can, probably a week or two (the performance is great if it's at list price, stores that have it in stock are currently running $350 instead of $200).

I will say to not bother with the case in that build-- it's not going to give you the kind of airflow you may want if doing intense video editing and won't fit the motherboard properly. [This Corsair] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00I0MKMG2) should do you well, though.

All told that'd be a beast of a machine for ~$1400.

> those got for free are retail or considered oem?

Not sure what you mean. If you buy a key in a store, online or offline, it often says OEM Key and those are a lot cheaper than others. Those are only good for one activation on one motherboard. Windows that comes with a prebuilt PC is also OEM.

If you buy the more expensive ones, those are considered retail. Those can be used on any number of Motherboards, but only one PC at a time. Unless otherwise stated.

So it really depends what you bought how this is handled.

Ok so say i buy this i get the code and put that in and it puts it on the usb right ?

u/brrrrip · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

There are different levels of licensing though.

There are retail keys. These are the actual, and transferrable, full versions.

There are OEM keys. These can only be installed once on one computer.

There are also what are called COA or pre-installed keys that are installed by OEM manufacturers. These can't be transferred at all. They can't even be re-installed by regular means. The only route is the manufacturer supplied factory reset/restore.

All of these keys are legitimate.
Retail keys are more expensive than OEMs.

If the page you bought your key from says OEM or system builder, then you have the install once OEM license.
If it said retail or nothing, then you have a retail key.

OEM license will require doing the phone activation.
Retail key should just automatically re-activate.

If you bought that second link, then you are fine. It's a full retail key.
Sounds like you did, so, cool beans. Should just have to install new drivers from the MoBo website.

u/Duraz0rz · 1 pointr/buildapc

If you have an optical drive, you can get a OEM CD copy of Windows 10 for $85.

Or you can make your own USB key or DVD: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10ISO

You will still need a Windows product key to activate it, though.

u/andraes · 1 pointr/buildapc

You can download Windows 10 and create your own bootable USB pretty easily. Then you just need valid key which you can buy from amazon for $85. (I think that $85 actually gets you the DVDs to use too along with a licence).

u/complexsystemofbears · 1 pointr/buildapc

So I'm looking to buy some new hard drives and thought, what the hell, may as well get Windows 10 now. I brought it up on this amazon link and I'm real confused on what the hell I'm buying.

Especially this bit: "Windows 10 OEM is a full version of the operating system not an upgrade.The OEM operating system is not supported by Microsoft. To acquire Windows software with support provided by Microsoft please see our full package "Retail" product. Microsoft recommends all files and programs be backed-up prior to installation."

u/slumper · 1 pointr/buildapc

Where can I buy a windows 10 license that is transferable ? https://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Software-Windows-System-Builder/dp/B00ZSI7Y3U/ this one says it can't be transferred?

u/DeadlyPirate · 1 pointr/Windows10

is this the same as this? i want to buy it at staples because I got a coupon

u/jfrok · 1 pointr/buildapcforme

The only thing i'd add to this is that when you don't activate windows 10 it leaves a huge watermark on all applications that aren't in fullscreen mode and doesn't allow you to personalize much without doing some cheap-tricks or registry-editing. There's room in your plan to go with a fully-activated copy and still not go over the $750. This is otherwise a great system!

u/Grizzled--Kinda · 1 pointr/buildapc

Oh yeah. Windows 10, usually buy it off Amazon on a disk. If your system doesn't have an optical drive it's good to get a cheap external one you can have lying around for disks or buy the USB version.

Nope, I clicked on the amazon link which sent me to a page with the product titled "Microsoft OEM Windows 10 Home, 64-Bit, 1-Pack, DVD"

Is that a DVD?

Poti sa ne luminezi si pe noi de unde stii? Ca emag si toate magazinele mari vand la greu ilegale din astea.

Didn't think of looking up specific hardware prices until you said this so here you go:

GTX 980M $340

i7-6700HQ $380

4K Display $200

32GB RAM $145

256GB NVMe SSD $103

1TB HDD $50

Backpack $75

Windows 10 $99

I pay for shipping, $0.

Total: $1392

I'll update my price to $1000.

When I was looking to post this a week ago I had a hard time finding how to price this since when I bought it I bought the upgraded version of it, so when I looked online I either saw worse models for less, and slightly better models for far more. I could never find one with my exact specs.

Lo and behold, the day before I post, someone puts up an Ebay bid for a slightly worse model at $800 + shipping, but when I look on Amazon I still see $1800, $1700, etc.

I saw as low as $700 for an Alienware 15 R2, and as high as $2100 for an Alienware 17 R3 but with a GTX 1080, and newer processor. I asked friends and their suggestions ranged from $1200-1900.

What would you say is the best approach for correctly valuing your tech? I'm just trying to find a fair price for both parties.
