Many suggest this option over purchasing a CD for Windows installation. It’s unclear exactly how it functions with just a key, but there may be additional steps involved. To ensure you’re getting a genuine product, verify the seller’s credibility and check reviews before making a purchase. This approach could help you save money while preparing for future PC builds.
I was considering this mainly for your friend since I already own copies of Windows 7 Pro and Windows 8 from when your mom purchased her laptop. Thanks.
They're likely purchased in large quantities. Check out this Reddit thread for more info: https://www.reddit.com/r/microsoftsoftwareswap/
I dislike hearing others suggest such things. If you're interested in pirating Windows, consider doing it yourself for free rather than hiring someone.
The keys mentioned often come from MSDN or similar sites under bulk licensing. Using them is illegal to resell, though they might have a limited expiration period—meaning the license ends while you're using it. I’d advise purchasing an OEM or retail key for Windows instead, as this ensures legality, support, and compatibility with your media (especially beneficial for Windows 7 since Microsoft has removed their media from Digital River).
