How to get a Windows 10 activation key?

Hi E.M.937! My name is David. I am a user of Microsoft products like you, and it is a pleasure to greet you.

I understand you're in the process of building a new PC and prefer Windows 10 over Windows 11.

1. While Microsoft has limited direct sales of Windows 10, you can still purchase Windows 10 licenses from authorized retailers. These retailers may have stock of Windows 10 even if Microsoft has ceased selling it directly. It's important to purchase from reputable sources to ensure the legitimacy of the activation key.

Unfortunately, Microsoft does not have a list for each of its authorized product distributors. However, you can use the following OEM distributors link as a guide to establish contact and inquire about the availability of Windows 10 https://devicepartner.microsoft.com/en-us/conne...

2. Platforms like Amazon, Newegg, or other reputable online stores often have Windows 10 available. Ensure you purchase from a verified seller to avoid counterfeit keys.

Remember to purchase only from reputable sources to ensure that you receive a genuine product. Avoid suspiciously cheap keys as they might be counterfeit or acquired through unauthorized means.

I hope the information has been useful, and you can soon acquire your Windows 10 license. Best regards.

Just to add to the other post. When you have Windows 10 installed (you can do that without a product key) go to Settings > Update and security > Activation > Go to Store and see what is offered in the Windows 10 Store.
