I acquired my Windows 8.1 Pro version a few years back and have never faced any problems with it.
Yes, I do that with VMs, but there is a student version or something. I actually got my retail keys for free from MS off a subscription to MS imagine that the Uni I attend gives to all computer science and software engineering students.
you might wonder why you need to ask. those inexpensive keys are usually OEM, and using them violates Microsoft’s terms of service for personal use. get the official retail version instead. the reason saying "I can't afford it" doesn’t hold up. if you’re buying a new computer, make sure to budget for Windows.
OEM products come with the highest price tag around $4999 USD. A single installation costs roughly $99 USD, while multi-install runs up to five devices for about $199 USD. If you obtain OEM from a grey market seller, they might be offering either genuine keys generated by the original license or cracked licenses reissued via installers—often with uncertain functionality. Most such purchases are sold for $25 to $50. While I don’t discourage buying from grey markets, it’s your decision and you should accept the associated risks. Just remember, if you receive a cracked version, avoid seeking further help on forums as we can’t assist. Personally, I stick to legitimate retail licenses.
