Do you expect full payment in your paycheck every week?

Do you pay 'full price' for your games or other software?

If someone offered you 64GB DDR 5 RAM for $15, you'd run away laughing.


A single Windows purchase can run your system, and the next 3 systems (only one at a time), for a decade.

I don't think I've ever paid more than about 5 bucks for a Windows key, and I don't intend on changing that.

Then who are buying these for hundreds of dollars?

Just a preemptive note....suggestion of pirating will NOT be allowed in here.

If you have near unlimited cash, or your employer are paying for whatever software you claim you need - then why not, doesn't hurt.

In other circumstances, this is debatable.

I have had exactly one cheap key out of dozens purchased not work, and even then they just gave me another key that did work.

Ethics aside since they're very subjective, you'd have to be silly to pay $100+ for a key.

I have purchased 2 each cheap OEM Windows Licenses over the years...and I registered both of them successfully through my MS account as per Microsoft. They are both still valid and functioning to this day...including updates and upgrades.

No need for further discussion.
