On Reddit U you can find Windows for just $15. Do they provide a code that you enter at startup? I’m not interested in this kind of scam—I don’t want any of it. It’s a total waste of money, especially in Australia. I’d pay $30 for an OS instead of $130.

You can obtain Windows directly from Microsoft without resorting to any unauthorized sources. Visit the official website for a secure download.

They provide you with a key and allow free download of the full ISO on the MS website. Just set up Windows and activate it using the key they supply. @Teemo4Life : These communities do not support or assist users with unauthorized software. PS: If you suspect purchasing Windows (or similar products) is dishonest, remember some developers rely on such software for their livelihood! PSS: If you truly prefer not to use Windows, consider Linux or SteamOS.

People mention LINUS and steam OS because they’re popular platforms, even though there aren’t many games available. It looks like they’re trying to highlight their credibility based on activity. This seems plausible given the number of posts you’ve seen. It might be a legitimate concern.

Are there alternative operating systems available if you're not interested in Windows or MacOS? Unix-based systems like Linux (Mint, Arch, Ubuntu) are also options.

They might list windows at $130 because it’s advertised as free, but in reality it requires a product key. The store could also offer a download option with extra features like 1GB storage.

There's KSP on Linux. You don't need any other game in your life.

You require a key. It seems you're purchasing one from Reddit or G2A.

I aproove we shouldn't talk about cracked stuff on here because it's illegal but I am sorry but they more than enough money even with the pirates. So I will sitll galdly crack my next Windows. 100$ for a OS, that's a bit to much considering how rich the company is.

The cost reflects how long the operating system has been running and how much free support it offers. It’s a good deal given these factors. I think you’re likely purchasing an OEM key that isn’t meant for public distribution. Just handing over the software and CD key is essentially giving away the product.
