G+_Jason Phillips Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 What is the best way to get a legitimate copy of the activation key for Windows 10 home. I've downloaded it with the Microsoft creation tool and burnt it to a DVD then in stalled it on to a home built gaming machine. I don't need it to buy a copy of the DVD just the key to activate it please help help help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Kevin Britain Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 You can go to the Microsoft App Store and buy the license directly.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Jason Brown Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 If you know anyone with an old PC, you could try harvesting a key there. I'm still finding Windows 7 keys that will activate on 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Ben Reese Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 I just activated Win 10 with an old Win 7 upgrade key. If that didn't work, I was going to try kinguin or scdkey. It's debatable whether these two sources are legit as you don't know the true source, but they should offer you a key guarantee so if the key doesn't work you can report it and get a new one. I'll probably end up getting MS Office from one of these sources soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Jason Brown Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Side note, I know there are some techies here that support their churches. Tech Soup sells licenses for all the major players, for pennies on the dollar. We got 50 MS Office 2016 licenses, for $44. You have to have 501©(3) status though.

G+_Ben Reese Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Jason Brown thanks for the reminder! For a few months now I’ve been trying to get my church to register as a 501c3. It’s a tough thing to convince the board that we need to spend $1000 to register for tax status that the IRS already recognizes. I did just get approval to build a new PC for recording/streaming, so I’m hoping to get that finished soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Jason Brown Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Tech Soup has lots of media software and decent refurbished hardware. You might actually save money, if you register first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Tailsthefox Pelissier Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 As mac user i had to get an usb key or dvd-rom version to activate it so you may have buy an key. I don't know how Windows 10 app store works since before i moved to mac i let one on my old Windows 7 computers get the free windows 10 upgrade to see if geting an new PC with Windows 10 or going MAC was right fur me. Going Mac was i only needed Windows 10 fur the rift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
