Windows activation keys

Post by **GORDON** » Mon Sep 08, 2014 4:31 pm

Is it possible to buy just a Win7 64 Home Premium-OEM key, without buying yet another disk of the same thing I have already bought twice? I just need another key/license/whatever they call it.

I can't seem to find anything googling. Everybody is only selling disks, and microsoft store is only selling windows 8.

It seems highly improbably that all they have to do is take my money and email me an activation code but they are going to make me do this bullshit hardcopy route.

You want a key? What version of 7?

EDIT: Ah, premium. Only way I know how to get reg keys is through MSDN.

If someone can get me the code I need I will paypal them whatever it costs... but it has to be $90 or less, because that is the price for a disk on newegg.

Win7 64 bit Home Premium.

I guess a higher version of Win7-64 would be fine as long as the price is there, but Home Premium is all I need.

This might be the answer. From microsoft:

To obtain a new genuine Windows 7 product key, you'll need to buy an additional copy of the same edition of Windows 7, which contains a product key that you can use. For more information about how to get Windows 7 in your country or region, go to the Shop webpage. You can also purchase Windows 7 at retail locations.

Madness.

What's the big deal if they want to send you a DVD?

Because it's a waste of time and resources. All I need is an email.

I like keeping my interactions with MacroShaft minimized.

That was a hobby.
