Anyone know whats the cheapest you can get windows 7 for?

Best websites etc.....

At the moment i have got windows vista ultimate edition. Im pretty sure Windows 7 home premium will do everything I need.

Can't see the point of going through the hassle when you can get "genuine" keys off USA E Bay for £15 or less.

if you buy a key from ebay, can you use any torrent for the software itsef?

SpionLikeALionInZion · « **Reply #530 on:** March 30, 2010, 10:55:45 am »

Having read this thread I looked on Ebay and saw the keys.

Are these legit then? Seems well cheap! Must admit im very tempted.

What would happen though, for example, if the seller sold the same key twice so 2 different people tried to register it?

Thanks.

iSmiff · « **Reply #531 on:** March 30, 2010, 11:09:15 am »

they'd be getting loads of negative feedback, i'd assume

What windows 7 download can you use with these ebay keys?

danwms · « **Reply #533 on:** March 30, 2010, 11:15:53 am »

Quick iphone question for iSmith....

If i want to reinstall windows to get windows 7 what do i need to back up so that my iphone will just carry on as normal, is it just the Itunes directory?

Im jailbroken and i don't want to be forced to install 3.1.3 when i first connect my iphone to the pc.

As has been said, they would get neg feedback. No reason to not believe they are genuine, I've had 2 now running for months on my laptop and home PC without problem and just got one for my mum's PC, again, activated no problem. For less than £15 it's a much better option than fannying around with cracks and dodgy copies.

If you get a Windows 7 Ultimate key, then it's obvious to state you need Windows 7 Ultimate installed. If I remember correctly, the key will work on both 64 and 32 bit software. Just choose which you want to install (32 or 64)and use the keyand Bob's your uncle.

No point gtting one of the lesser versions when you think about it.

SpionLikeALionInZion · « **Reply #535 on:** March 31, 2010, 09:19:18 am »

Thanks very much, gonna get myself one later after work!

Someone couldnt point me in the direction of a download for the Windows 7 Ultimate x64 ISO could they? Id like a clean one without any altered files etc.

Which seller did you get them from if you dont mind me asking, its just that none of them seem to have many feedback {just a bit wary of getting a dud} you can pm me if you dont want to reveal it to everybody

Pulling this out of my arse, but the serials might be from liquidations of bankrupt companies. The licences are probably technically invalid, but the serials will remain good as long as they're only sold once.

BazC · « **Reply #543 on:** March 31, 2010, 10:50:18 pm »

I'd love the name of one of those serial code sellers as well please- would be helpful if someone could PM me also! Vista's really pissing me off now, and want to get 7 sorted on the home PC. Already have the disc from microsoft from the laptop install so only need a code really.

Maybe not everyone is aware of those dodgy keys your buying on ebay? I mean, there has to be something not quite legit about them if they are going for so little.

Anyway, yeah, i was all set to cough up for windows this time out, but i haven't had any problems using a windows 7 boot loader(installed on my desktop and netbook). Windows have even been so kind as to tell everyone what update to avoid if you don't want to get caught.

Who says they are dodgy? I've not a clue how much a genuine key costs to an OEM builder in the USA.

Glad I got in there when I did......I received a message from Ebay last night saying that the seller had broken Ebay rules with what he was selling and had been stopped from selling them anymore! Maybe they are trying to crack down on it?!

Well of course they are dodgy. Probably people selling on the keys they got legitimately but have no legal right to sell on. They are probably selling the same keys many times over also. You might never get caught out, but you might. For the sake of what they are charging it's probably worth the risk.

It is people selling there MSDN Keys. I have an MSDN subscription and depending on your subscription level you get so many keys. When MS catch someone on ebay they come down on them hard.
If you manage to get a key that is from MSDN be careful as it can easily be revoked. If you know someone with an MSDN sub, be nice to them
