Are There Any Places I Can Get Windows For Cheap? (And Legally...)

[aces19]

As the title says, just wondering if there is anywhere that I can get cheap copies of windows legally.

Cheap and legal are two words that do not belong together in the same sentence when referring to Windows. A legal windows license costs what it costs.

Student license, Home Use Program from your employer...
Other than that, there is no "cheap + legal"

This thread is attracting WAY too many 'not-allowed' links.
