we get it, but, the thing is an official and totally legal copy from microsoft is more expensive so what me and @dalekphalm suggested is to get an OEM one that is cheaper. As he said, G2A and other grey market sellers are not guarantee and you could loose them. If you want to go that way is fine but you should be aware. This a very common question here in the forum and we can't teach you how to crack it or give you a shady website selling keys, so leaving it unactivated is the way for you to go since you want to save some money, which I totally get.
I've utilized several $3 eBay keys throughout the years without any problems.
Microsoft suggests you might prefer using an unregistered version of Windows 10 instead of purchasing from platforms like G2A. Your decision is yours. I can't prevent you from buying from them, but if I had to choose, I'd opt for a genuine copy from an authorized seller.
Purchasing keys from third parties is the same as engaging in piracy. I’m not sure about you, but I wouldn’t pay for a pirated version.
Windows costs have remained consistent since Vista. It’s been over a decade now—possibly longer—but I haven’t upgraded before Vista. For those building new PCs, consider including OS costs in your parts budget.
This is one of my biggest pet peeve - I see people make build lists all day long, and almost none of them budget for Windows. Or when they do, they often just put in $20 for G2A or something. If you're budgeting for a $800+ computer? You can afford to pay for the proper Windows license. If that means you have to get a slightly worse GPU or something? So be it. My opinion? Don't want to pay for a proper Windows license? Fine. Install Linux for free and don't use Windows.
