![]() ![]() This is a grey area only for reasons that even though Microsoft recognizes that the grey market exists, they are not willing to outright ban them. Moderators and the forum at large will only recommend official retailers to you. If you do use grey market, the forum cannot assist you in fixing/repairing or validating the OS key. If they don't, just take a picture of the Windows 7 sticker, use that to activate Windows 10, then install Windows 11 if you so choose.ģrd party is a grey area, while the forum allows the discussion, we cannot offer specific sites to use or not use. They are buy-at-your-own-risk. If so, hey, cool, new toy that you can flip for $50. See if they'll take five bucks or something. My best guesstimate is that at this point, three out of four garage sale desktops are going to be an HP tower with a Windows 7 sticker on it. The "you asshole" answer: look on Craiglist for a garage sale that says "computer". With *aforementioned site*, if the code doesn't work, you open up a return saying that the code doesn't work, and within a few days you've got your money back. Even then, you don't get your money back, just a second key from the same seller that may or may not be bad as well, and the warranty does not carry over. Those third-party software sites will make you pay extra for a "warranty", and even then you have to jump through several hours worth of hoops to prove that it's a bad key. *well known online auction site, maybe not the one you think though* is usually cheaper than all the Youtuber-endorsed sites, and much safer. Sure, they can be locked, and sure, you can lose them, but in practice I have never once had that happen. Perfectly reasonable answer: they're MSDN keys. Only download and install 100% Microsoft-approved Windows copies and keys. Goody two-shoes answer: don't use third-party sites. ![]()
