Hey there! It’s great you’re planning your new setup. For affordable Windows keys, check trusted retailers like Amazon or official Microsoft sites—avoid suspicious sellers. Yes, you can transfer Windows to a USB flash drive using tools such as Rufus or Windows Installer. Just prepare the drive, select the ISO image, and follow the instructions carefully.
Many reputable sources sell Windows licenses. While the actual keys are valid, how they’re acquired can raise concerns. To avoid paying someone who might have obtained the key illegally, you can run Windows without activation. This limits features like background and theme changes, but full functionality remains. You can duplicate an existing Windows installation (though this isn’t a true copy), though it may cause driver or performance problems. A fresh install on a new system is my preferred option.
Sign in with your Microsoft account on your present computer. 3. Get the Windows 10 installer and save it to a USB stick. 4. Assemble the new system. 5. Start the installation from the USB. 6. Set Windows on the appropriate disk. 7. Enter your Microsoft account details. 8. Confirm any hardware changes you've made. 9. Your license has now been updated. This method has functioned for me before. The resellers selling keys over 10-20 USD are mainly from secondary markets. They typically deal in bulk licenses for organizations or sell keys from regions with weaker currencies. It's not illegal, but Microsoft prefers it to be avoided and could cancel the license if needed. The 100 USD key is the most legitimate option, though the process I used also works and guarantees a valid license (provided your current device setup is correct).
I haven’t used that old PC since the upgrade, so I’m unsure. I think the license might disconnect and show a watermark saying “Activate Windows.” As usual, back up your files before making changes. I don’t have experience with key resellers, so I can’t suggest one specific one. I’ve heard of scdkey, G2A, Kinguin, and people often buy from eBay—though that’s not a single seller there—and I don’t know which is best.
