You can find Windows 8.1 at lower prices from used or refurbished stores, online marketplaces, or local retailers in the UK.
If you're a college student, you can purchase it affordably on the Microsoft Store.
It varies based on the source you purchase from. I was informed it's an OEM key, but the resellers there seem to offer MSDN keys instead.
It seems uncertain to me. I've heard mixed reports—some keys function well while others expire quickly. It might be wise to invest a bit more for certainty.
