    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

    :)

    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?

  7. 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.

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

    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.
