Purchasing a used device often includes pre-installed Windows. Verify during the transaction whether an activated version is present or if the seller retains the internal drives.

This could depend on the seller's rating; however, reputable sellers with thousands of reviews tend to be trustworthy since they’re typically removed from platforms before reaching such numbers. Most buyers are protected by insurance if issues arise with the product or key. In many regions, software and games are priced lower due to economic factors or high piracy rates, often being resold online. For Windows 10 licenses, bulk purchases for OEM use can be very affordable, sometimes as low as $10 per key, depending on location. This doesn’t mean it’s common, but it’s realistic.

You need to set up Windows because during installation it sets the appropriate drivers and creates a snapshot of your system. If you move a hard drive to another machine, Windows might stop working properly without the correct drivers installed. Simply visit Microsoft’s site and download the Windows 10 media creation tool. You can install Windows without a license and use it unactivated. Alternatively, you could purchase a low-cost grey market key or an OEM key, which is more affordable than buying a retail version.
