So I can build a brand new system that never had OS and just click "I don't have a key"? And it will install a win10 version that lacks a few elements, like no background and ads?
I can just pick wind 10 on a completely empty brand new ssd??
If something looks too good to be true then it probably is. Probably in illegally obtained license key for that price and there’s no guarantee that any of them will work as stated above
Is having the license stop working, the worst case scenario?this, if you can get it for way cheaper than what MS themselves sell it for, there is a risk it might stop working in future. I much prefer to play it safe and buy from a reputable site.

5€ is no big deal for a "may stop". As long as Microsoft can take no legal action against you.Probably. If you only use the code and use a legit installer from Microsoft. the worst outcome is it deactivates licence... and well, all that does is ads a watermark to desktop and stops you using a few settings...
Deactivation really isn't that terrible.. that is unless Microsoft change their minds and make it more restrictive. One mod has run win 10 inactivated for over 2 years now, on one of his PC. We waiting for something to happen.
I wouldn't even buy a licence if you know that 1 day might come where you have to buy it for windows to keep running. To install win 10 on a PC with no licence, you just click "I don't have a key" on the screen where you input licence, and PC will continue to install and remain inactivated.
Why pay $5 or so for a licence that might fail and leave you inactivated, when you can just run inactivated anyway?
reputable sites probably depends on where you are

That was a pretty helpful article.Just as long as you know MS could change that at any time, and then you need to buy a licence.
Main reason the option for "I don't have a key" exists is 99% of the people who upgraded from 7 or 8 don't know their key. What is meant to happen is after you are installed, windows 10 checks a server that has details of every WIndows 10 PC on it, and matches the details of your PC against that database, and if it exists, it is activated. In your case, it won't find it.
Any other sites, for cheap OS, recommendations?
