Great purchase!

Windows 10 unactivated was glitchy so I decided to buy this from Amazon. I re-installed windows 10 and put the code simple as that. All you need is a USB and download windows 10 installation from Microsoft's website onto the USB. Overall, if you don't want to risk a headache from buying cheap keys from sketchy sites that might not work, then go ahead and buy this. (Remember to buy it from Amazon as the seller)

Exactly as Advertised

I used this for a new system build. This comes in a sealed envelope with the install DVD and the activation code that you scratch off. The code worked as promised. The easy way to install Windows 10 on a new PC build: 1. Have a USB flash drive that is at least 8GB 2. Go to the Windows download website and download the installer tool. 3. This will install Windows on your USB stick. 4. Plug in the USB stick to your new motherboard and it will be recognized as a bootable drive. 5. Select the USB drive and boot. 6. It will ask for an activation code that is on the inside of the envelope you received. Enter it and Windows 10 will install. Took about 15 min to install on. Samsung 970 EVO Nvme drive.

A Real Review

I recently started a brand new PC build and I really needed a Windows 10 program, be it flash or CD. I didn't want to go to some weird website that sold Windows 10 for something dirt cheap, I wanted a real copy for my very first build. After a few short hours of searching the internet for a (cheap) Windows 10 program, I finally found one that would give it to me Same-Day via Prime (full price but oh well!), which is excellent since I'm fairly impatient. The disc and envelope it came in were all legit, Microsoft brand. There was an option to "Conceal" your package before purchasing this item in which I really was going to opt in for, but due to my excitement of getting it Same-Day, I placed the order before I could stop myself from clicking "Place Order". I popped in the disc for my new PC to boot the official Windows 10. First Try, it worked. The reviews that you see coming from 1-star or complaining about fake codes or anything like that are scammers. They are trying to get more codes out of Amazon or Microsoft so please don't listen/read into them. I am an actual customer, not some paid Amazon worker or a scammer trying to get you to buy this, this is just a guy, with a bong, with a new pc. Thank you.

Great product. Look on youtube for ways to disable ...

Great product. Look on youtube for ways to disable the spyware. Microsoft has a lot of tracking options in place setup to automatically send marketing data. Most options can be found under privacy settings. Windows does push automatic downloads without your permission, games like candy crush, minecraft, etc. show up without authorization, but there are easy ways to disable this feature. Performance is excellent and seems to perform better than windows 7. Worth the upgrade once you disable all the marketing nonsense. At time of this review, if you are making the jump from an older version of windows to 10, you should be able to do this for free. You can download the windows 10 installer from Microsoft and begin installation, once you finish the setup process, windows should automatically detect the key you used and windows 10 should be activated automatically. Windows will be bound to your motherboard, so you would have to get a new version if you change computers in the future. Worked for me twice so far using my old Windows activation keys from win7. One time I just updated from an old version of windows and didn't need to activate the key, it pulled my old windows 7 key automatically. The second time I did a hard reset and fresh install, during activation I used my other windows 7 activation key and it had no issues setting me up for windows 10. I wish I knew this before purchasing this windows cd. I can't guarantee it will still work, but it looks like Microsoft wants you to upgrade so they can earn more money marketing your data out and push paid games like candy crush to your desktop probably for a fee from the aps company. This CD is great and legit. The packaging was official, arrived on time, and the code was valid. I believe this is an OEM version, which means it binds to your motherboard. If you build a new computer, you may have to buy a new version of windows 10.

Warning when upgrading from O.S.7 Hardware Destroyer

The Free windows update that I paid over 116.00 dollars for destroyed my PC. I had a super machine that was totally upgrade-able. I had a Quad 4- i7 processor and 12 gb of ram on MOBO which can be upgraded to 32 GB of Ram and 2 drives and a recovery. I tried twice to install a 'Clean Install" but it stopped twice during the process. I must admit I got Microsoft on the phone pretty quick , so we tried for another hour or two but to no Prevail . I was told to take my desk top pc to my local store located in Mid-Town Manhattan and they told me I had a hardware failure ? I said the machine was fine until I put your rotten Win 10 disk in my PC. I was told by their tech specialist that my MOBO blew up ! I said what ! How can that be !? The machine ran like a fine Swiss watch on Win 7 pro.. I was told that the machine must now go out for further Diagnosis on hardware and how much it is going to cost me !!!! So far 116 and change for Win 10 O.S. from Amazon plus 50 dollars to ship my PC from Microsoft out for more complex testing facility, which can take up to 4 weeks and cost me over 600 dollars!!!?? I told the Microsoft Rep that your OS 10 is destroying perfectly good machines. This Desktop cost me 1500 plus!! All you have to do is google " Win 10 Destroyed my motherboard and the case is closed. There are countless lawsuits pending class action just do a search.. I will follow up with this store and my comment about my Microsoft experience when they call me with the results. I told them I have 2 more Win 7 pro machines that must be upgraded but how can I trust Microsoft!!?? After over 20 yrs of windows and at least 6 different O.S's and at least 15 different machines ...Countless crashes Windows Vista and Millennium .... I AM READY TO JUMP THE FENCE AND RUN TO APPLE. HEED MY WARNING! UPDATE!!!! I RECEIVED A CALL FROM MY LOCAL MICROSOFT STORE WHICH SENT OUT MY CUSTOM -HP PAVILION HPE FOR FURTHER TESTING. AFTER 3 WEEKS I RECEIVE A CALL FROM THE TECH DEPT AND THEY SAID "BIOS' AS SOON AS I HEARD THAT WORD, I KNEW THIS IS A PROBLEM WAS BETWEEN MICROSOFT AND THE PC MANUFACTURE. THIS IS NOT A CUSTOMER ISSUER. THE STAFF WAS GREAT IN MID-TOWN MANHATTAN AND WERE POLITE AFTER A DEBATE THAT I WON AFTER WORKING ON WINDOWS FOR ALMOST 20 YRS AND 6 OS's . I TOLD THEM THANK YOU AND THEY TOLD ME BRING MY OTHER 2 WIN7 PRO MACHINES IN AND WE WILL UPGRADE THEM FOR FREE. i WILL TRY TO INCLUDED THE WORK ORDER.. SERVICE Scope of Work: Resolution & Work Completed: Customer attempted to install windows 10 and it failed. Perform Hardware Diagnostics No data back up** Clean install of windows 10. Windows 10 disc still inside** Reset CMOS and got unit to boot, installed Win10, updated BIOS and all drivers, device passed diagnostics and functions testing, sending to final QC It is so nice that Microsoft took full responsibility and I changed my mind 180 degrees about the company, still cautious but optimistic until my other 2 machines are running right on the new OS which will be installed right before OS 7 becomes not supported..THANK YOU AGAIN MID-TOWN MANHATTAN

Mine was fine

Despite all the reviews that state this one is pirated, I was able to install it on a computer that I got 2nd hand. It worked just fine and so far I haven't had any issues with it. I have no idea why other reviews are saying this is pirated.

Counterfeit CANNOT ACTIVATE WINDOWS

UPDATE: Contacted Amazon and they overnighted me a new copy of Windows 10 and it worked like a charm. Kudos to Amazon for making it right. Just installed this today on a pc I built for my son. After typing in the COA to activate Windows, it said my copy was not valid. Went to Microsoft tech support page and discovered my copy is possibly counterfeit. I will be filing a complaint with Amazon. Buyer beware.

Did NOT require me to Enter the Product Code

I took a chance on buying this given the inconsistent reviews regarding the Product Code. My HP laptop had some major issues that I think was related to some type of Malware, although none of the Malware/Anit-Virus programs could identify the issue. I decided I needed to start all over and reload Windows. The problem I had is my laptop came with Windows 7 and I upgraded to Windows 10. I also did not have a copy of the restore media that came with my Computer and my Recovery Drive was corrupted. This software arrived in one day, I loaded the DVD and it NEVER even asked me for the Product Code. My guess is it may have recognized my Computer already had Windows 10, so maybe the Product Code was not required. I loaded the DVD and had it erase everything, reload Windows 10, then download all the critical and current Windows 10 updates and now I am back up and running smooth and efficiently. This completely fixed MY problem so for that reason I am very happy! Luckily I had all my DOCS, Pics, and Videos Backed Up to an External Seagate Drive that allowed me to simply transfer them back to the Laptop after the install.

fresh and clean flawless and conflict free... just the way I like it!

OMG running up a new PC with a fresh and clean operating system is such a pleasure.. I hate all the bloatware that infests all my name branded PC's I ran my new system up with a fresh clean copy of windows and wow.... no conflicts.. and my computer is not trying constantly to sell me something or install all the excess bundled junk... awesome fast and clean... its amazing how smooth installation and start up is with a clean install... wham bam done.. I like very much

Simple Upgrade

I have a 2 year old laptop that was running Windows 7, and wanted to upgrade to Windows 10. Within 2 days Amazon sent me an official Microsoft sealed disk with the product key hidden under a scratch off on the cover. However, I didn't need the key. I simple turned on my PC, and after it came up under Window 7, I inserted the Windows 10 disk. It opened up, and other than replying to a few prompts, it ran on it's own completely until it finished. It then restarted my computer and up came the fully implemented version of Windows 10. No problems, simple upgrade.
