Purchasing windows from G2A
Purchasing windows from G2A
Windows keys purchased from G2A are 100% non-authentic keys! Zero exceptions! That's not to say that you may be able to install Windows, or even use it for sometime, but eventually your key will be discovered as invalid. Microsoft does not, under any circumstance, sell just the product key. This is a published fact you can find on numerous Microsoft websites regarding authentic versions of Windows. What these sellers will do (it's not actually G2A selling you the key, but sellers using the G2A site much like eBay doesn't sell you anything either) is sell the same key several times over, then once too many people install Windows with the same key, it gets flagged as not authentic. They may also be selling stolen OEM keys intended to be used on brand new systems built by various vendors (HP, Sony, Acer, etc.). I purchased a key from G2A for Windows 8.1, I was able to initially install Windows, but a few days later I received a notification that the key was already in use. I contacted G2A, and because I purchased G2A shield at the time of purchase, I received a full refund. My recommendation, do NOT purchase Windows keys from G2A unless you want to roll the dice.
