Building my PC soon, and I know you can find Windows 8 cheap on G2A.com. Does it function properly without buying a license from official sellers, or is there a significant risk involved? Right now, I’m paying around 50 euros, while in Denmark I usually pay about 100 euros for an OS. I’ve also heard about time-limited licenses, like those expiring after a year. True or false? Thanks!

G2A is a balanced platform, I wouldn't rely on it for anything over €20 unless you're me.

No way! I received a pirated key and haven’t received a refund yet... There’s a subreddit for Windows key swaps – they provide genuine keys and are happy to assist with any problems

Acquire it from another source instead. For a particular reason, I'm not confident with them and purchase game keys from different platforms.

You're on Windows 8.1 using a key purchased from them, correct?

It's great to hear! r/microsoftsoftwareswap is a top spot for affordable Windows options.

I prioritize purchasing from reliable platforms.

Are you sure about this? Asking someone to engage in piracy isn't acceptable.

Previously I learned that avoid purchasing from g2a.com; check the subreddit /r/microsoftsoftwareswap for more info. It seems the site is quite affordable, though it can be tricky to verify its reliability on that forum. Would recommend sticking to trusted sources—link here: http://www.reddit.com/r/microsoftsoftwar...ice_visio/. I’m looking for Windows 7 or 8 options that fit a 32GB RAM budget and are reasonably priced.
