    Sure it will work, heck it will make pancakes, bacon, eggs, and yellow snow too!

    (if this isn't obvious, dont believe the sure it will work part *Sigh*)

    I'm into fast ring but I don't see 10158.
    Do we have a link to the store app to buy it?

    I hope it will works, have purchased one a moment ago.
    I've used ShowKey to display the serial installed and it doesn't match any of the serials from Wzor.
    Now I want to know is there a way to buy another serial with the same Microsoft Account.

    Sounds promising it's an individual key.

    Ok so this only shows up in this method:


    Installation must be with location as United States.
    Skip all instances where it ask for key
    if after installing and getting to desktop 1st time, you don't reboot.
    Goto settings and click on "Windows isn't activated, Activate Windows now"
    It will take you to Settings>Activation click 'Goto Store'

    From there you can buy the Key,

    Seems any country CC works but address country is locked to USA




    So does anyone know howto check what the key is?

    They're giving chinese pirates free copies, they're giving windows 7 and windows 8 owners free copies, why not give copies showing as non-genuine licenses for $2, better than $0 they'll get a few weeks after its release from the same users.

    They seem to have a motive with Windows 10, it's basically free to most people. All windows 7 and 8 users has to be a large part of their customer base, they're obviously not trying to make a lot of money off it, It's more an effort to keep their customers in the first place with the ongoing threat of tablets, google and apple killing off the PC, their primary market. I'm not worried about paying for a $2 key as I have Windows 7 licenses all over the place.

    They're not giving genuine licenses to pirates, only to genuinely activated retail 7 and 8.x users

    And it's not the $2 you want to worry about losing, it's who you are sending your payment info to, because I guarantee it's not MS
