Windows 10: Is buying oem key legal

I have seen many people selling oem windows key. Is it legal to buy and use oem keys?

:)

 

Can I buy an OEM licence?

Alessandro, in terms of the law either you buy OEM preinstalled to already assembled PC or buy OEM separately from other parts even they will be listed in one invoice. The fact you buy OEM in set with motherboard has no legal meaning. Either it is preinstalled
or bought separately; a third is not given

 

Are cheap Windows 10 Pro OEM Keys illegal to buy & too use?

I've recently been seeing a lot of popular YouTube creators who are being sponsored to make videos to promote a website called ucdkeys, where you can buy cheap Windows 10 Pro OEM CD Keys for only £10 ~ $16. I simply ask this, are the Windows 10 Pro OEM
keys this website sells legal to buy and can they be used legally by a non-commercial user?

 

WINDOWS 10 OEM licence legal and not

Hi Dmitriy,

there are two different things.

One is possibility to install OEM by yourself for your own use. In general this is prohibited by OEM system builder licence. AFAIK only two countries allow to do this.

The second, OEM Windows may be distributed only in two forms: preinstalled on hardware and as OEM pack with DVD disk, sticker with product key, and system builder licence agreement at the back of envelope.

If one buys something else he does not get Windows licence.

It is legal to buy anything else, the keys, the stickers and so on but such purchase does not give a rights to use Windows, it will be illegal.
