Windows 10: Can't I just buy a product key?

I know, people think I am mental. Well you are right.

I would personally just prefer to buy a product key and/or hard copy of Windows 10. Why can't I find anywhere to do this?

Yes I own 3 licensed copies of 8.1 pro

:)

 

Your Windows 10 license is expiring.

"can't I just buy a windows 10 product key and use that on this current one?"

No.

can't I just buy a windows 10 product key and use that on this current one? doing a clean reinstall is quite a problem!

 

Me to I would buy it! Wont go backward to install Se7en because there was no installer in the box when I purchase the computer five years ago. So where I can buy Win Ten Pro?

 

I say we start a protest against Microsoft giving away stuff for free. Start a movement. Even better, maybe someone could just direct me to a legitimate place to buy a key?

 

You can buy it in many places. For instance...

Windows 10 Pro: Upgrade or Purchase - Microsoft Store

 

Unfortunately, it appears that Microsoft are focused on their Upgrade process at the moment, and you cannot purchase it yet in the UK.

However, some digging found this > Windows 10 Pro: Upgrade or Purchase - Microsoft Store
Hopefully they will get something on there soon.

As for Physical media, as far as i am aware, MS declared a discontinuation for physical media, meaning you will need to create it yourself anyway.

 

Windows – Microsoft Store Australia

 

Looks like we all had the same idea.

 

You can pre-order from SCAN and maybe a couple of other places.

 

Why thank you peoples.
It would seem Ive been of the internet so long I've forgotten how to use it.

 

isn't that funny. But your right, although I just found a local mob that I buy hardware from that are selling the following
Microsoft Windows Professional 10 32-bit/64-bit USB Flash Drive and its actually cheaper than MS Australia.

It would now appear I have regained my ability to use the internet.
