It’s unlikely you can legally purchase Windows 8.1 and immediately upgrade to Windows 10. Such methods aren’t supported by Microsoft or standard practices, so they wouldn’t reduce costs in a practical way.

It's feasible, though if you need W10, purchase it directly.

It's confirmed if the key is authentic for retail use.

Sure, I wasn't aware of that. It doesn't seem like it here.

You can purchase 8.1 and then upgrade, it's definitely feasible.

It really depends on where you are. Sometimes windows 8.1 will be like half the cost, and other times there will barely be a price delta. Either way just get the cheapest OS including windows 7, and then just upgrade to windows 10, because it isn't much hassle.
