Question Windows 10 buying recommendations?

[synath]

Hey, I'm sorry if this is in the wrong section of the forums. But, my new PC almost complete except for the case. Except I completely forgot about my operating system. What is the best option to buy windows 10 cheap? Buy a ssd with it? Buy a online key? Buy it off something like scdkey? I need something that is legit and not over $100.






thanks

Better to be legit , than have your license be deactivated.

if its deactivated can't you still use it? I wouldnt care to have a watermark if im being honest

Yes you can run Windows 10 for free forever , with only a few customization features missing.

You Don't Need a Product Key to Install and Use Windows 10

You probably should get a Windows key, though,

Thankyou! So this means that when I startup my new PC for the first time it should just give me the option? Or do I need to access something first?

Just install it.
When it asks for the license key, skip and move on.

It will run almost exactly as a fully licensed version.

I have a long running install of a Win 10 Pro, to test exactly this.
Installed in a VM on Dec 8 2016, still running just fine almost 3 years later.
