My situation doesn’t include optical drive support, so I’ll need to transfer Win10 via USB. I’ve watched YouTube tutorials explaining the process—just visit Microsoft’s site, download the 64-bit version, insert it onto your USB drive, and connect it to a new PC. Regarding purchasing keys, you can buy Windows 10 CDs legally; they contain the activation key you’ll need to run the installation. You don’t have to buy a separate key separately.

Legally this might fall into a somewhat ambiguous zone, depending on the seller’s actions in obtaining the keys. On the subject, there are several sites that offer Windows 10 pre-installed directly from Microsoft, and another tool available on the official Microsoft site can be used to set up Windows 10, after which you can purchase a license through any method you prefer.

AFAIK play asia is considered a genuine distributor, which is one of the approaches mentioned frequently when discussing greymarket kinguin.

For simplicity, use the link from @WereCat to make your bootable USB, then install it and purchase a license from the Windows Store afterward.

You simply install Windows from the USB drive, and it will guide you through obtaining a key. You can run Windows without payment, though with certain restrictions: customization options are limited. Even these can be circumvented using some of Microsoft's built-in tools. Don't worry about that.

When purchasing a CD, the key must match any Windows version you already have. For instance, buying a Windows 10 64-bit Pro CD won't work if you installed Windows 10 64-bit Home through USB. The specific versions—Pro, Home, Enterprise, etc.—must be identical. Architecture matters too, though most systems now use 64-bit.

It seems like you're suggesting that you don't need to purchase a license to use Windows 10 properly.

Checking if purchasing a key from Kinguin is safe or risky is important. Always verify their reputation and reviews before proceeding.
