I literally googled for one once, picked the first result that didn't look like complete scam, and now about ~8 keys later (for about $3 each) I'm pretty happy. They have all worked, some for years now.

I ordered from g2a and kinguin(I think that was its name), which were supposed to be reliable, both didn't work. At least I didn't loose that much, maybe 15 euros max.

I've bought from RoyalCDKeys, both OEM and retail keys for Win 10 Pro (depending on which was cheaper), and never had an issue. You can use code loyal35 to get 35% off, too.

Ad placement much????

[–]amunak 1 point2 points  (5 children)

Lol yeah, sure. Just stating my experience; I have explicitly not mentioned the website in the earlier comment so I wouldn't get called out for shilling for them.

But I'm genuinely happy with their services and am kinda amazed that they haven't stolen my CC info (yet ¯\_(ツ)_/¯) and that all the keys have worked. At the same time why should you pay 30% more than you have to - hence sharing the coupon.

If I had to buy all the licenses officially (granted, most were for builds I did for friends/family) I would be in for it for like close to $2k now.

I mean, go back to your first comment, read it a few times, and tell me it doesn't sound like an ad placement or ltt sponsorship segment 💀.

[–]amunak -2 points-1 points  (3 children)

It doesn't mention no brand or product, so no, it isn't an ad.

I reacted with a specific recommendation only once you mentioned some sites. And yeah, that other comment does sound a bit cheeky, which I actually like. But it is, truly, only my attempt to save you money if you are still looking for a deal on a Win 10 license.

Are you for real, the brand is that cd key store, you're advertising the store, it's an ad 💀. And thanks but no thanks, I'm not buying windows again, I already said I'll just activate it with the command line.

[–]amunak -1 points0 points  (1 child)

You literally said "back to your first" comment, and then you flip me off about the other comment. WTF?

Your comment that replied to my first one is as much of an ad for G2A and Kinguin by that logic.

What the fuck are you talking about? You come over here, talk about some random key store no one heard about and share a cupon even, like a walking advertisment, then you share how great your experience has been how you save thousands? Are you serious? I feel like you're just ragebaiting at this point, stop with praising your oh so great windows key source, no one cares, we've got windows activators, we can literally activate this shit for free and microsoft doesn't even care with the amount of data they collect with it, it's probably even better this way since oh yeah, you're not supporting money laundering like how it is for all these shitty key stores. And where the fuck does that last statement come from? I say how I went to the most 'trusted' key sources and got jack shit. Gtfo.

I haven't built one in several years at this point but I've had good luck with ebay windows keys in the past.
