    Best and safest? Microsoft.

    If you PC has an older version such as Windows 7 - it is likely you can get a free upgrade still. https://www.cnet.com/how-to/upgrade-to-windows-10-free-heres…

    If not, you may be able to buy a low cost license for Windows 7 Pro on ebay, install that and then upgrade that after registering it.

      Yep the free upgrade is still working.

      Technically though one of those licenses wouldn't pass a Microsoft audit now but a home consumer will never get one of those.

      Aww, I lost my win 7 pro key :(

    A relatively easy and certainly legal option is to find one cheap on staticice (must be retail, not OEM) and get OW to price-beat it.

    if you have an .edu email account, there is a way to get it for free.

    I heard you can get an .edu e-mail by enrolling in some free courses

      I have a copy of windows 10 PRO that I got through my .edu email (But I have no use for it lol).

        How did you get it?

            @Sortale: Really?! Your answer is to Google it! You are presumptuous to assume that I didn't search for an answer before asking. Now if you took your own advice and searched Google, maybe you could then point to an answer to my question… because I can't find one.

              @d123: You can get it at onthehub or azureforeducation, but you need that edu address and requires verification.

                @soggypotato: Hi potatophish9, I have tried onthehub but that site wants to find your school and does not use an .edu email. None of the schools or universities we looked up are on there. Also the azureforeducation has nothing about getting Windows 10 after signing up.

                If you could have a look and let me know where I missed it, ie getting Windows 10 for Education using an .edu email address, I would really appreciate it.

              @d123: to be honest, there are 2 problems

              First, that is all the info I needed to get my window key, so I assumed that is all you need as well.
              Secondly, the way to get the key is a bit complicated, and requires some serious google-fu. if you can't find the way to do it, better give up. It saves time.

              Thirdly, not a problem, but yeah, I don't think I owe you anything [correct me if I am wrong] so I don't even have to let you know that a way to get free window key exist let alone guide you through it. Not that I expect gratitude or anything but yeah, deal with it bro.

              I hope you found what you are looking for, cheer.

    Bought mine off ebay for $7~

    Haven't tried it yet, will in the next few days

  • Riczter on 12/12/2019 - 17:26

    I've been getting mine from urcdkey for $12.48USD with coupon code UKrandom. I'm sure there are cheaper options but sometimes the cheapest option doesn't work. This site was recommended by a youtuber so hopefully more reliable and for under $20AUD cant complain.

    • d123 on 13/12/2019 - 00:39

      Thanks! Say, how did you get a coupon? I searched UKrandom but can't find anything relevant.

        From the youtuber RandomFrankP, was a sponsor spot, guessing he gets a kickback whenever anyone uses his code…

  • KenDiaMoi on 13/12/2019 - 04:37

    I got mine off eBay for $5.
    The eBay account was banned after a few months, but my key works 2 years down the track.
    Worth $5.
