    Buy license from MS or put up with it.
    At least this one is life time, not annual subscription.

    Would you buy milk from unknown person around corner if it would be half price or even less?

    What kinda key did you get? OEM? The fact there’s ways to activate it for less than €20 is exactly why I refuse to pay full market price for windows 10 pro =P

    Haven't a clue, it was the cheapest listing on eBay. Haven't paid more than a fiver for Windows 10 and I bought approx 10 keys over the last few years.

    I bought an oem win 10 pro key for €1.14 on ebay and it worked perfect.
    Just look at the sellers reviews.
