Bad move.

You need to purchase a valid license, from a valid retailer. Yes, it sucks. But hopefully, this is a one time experience for you.

When a retailer is selling a Windows key for one tenth of the recommended price it should ring a few alarm bells.

Microsoft said the key was a valid working key just i cant use it to upgrade my w10 home to w10 pro
