Legit place to buy Windows 10?
Cheers
Legit but OEM.
OEM edition. Under MS terms it can only be provided with a system and not sold direct to end user just as a key. It's also possible it's a less than legitimate key taken from MSDN, Technet etc and the key might become invalid within a few months.
Though plenty of legitimate places have sold OEM editions (with CD) by using a loophole that require you to buy some cheap kit like a mouse.
However looking at that site I wouldn't trust it to provide a genuine key.
Still, they claim:
"Are your items genuine?
Yes. We only sell genuine products. We are a UK LTD company (company no: 10599124) – and with every sale, we guarantee authenticity."
Only been incorporated this year. Which is odd as references to the site come up going back a few years.

Interestingly the registered address also houses about 10,000 other companies!
You can register your company there for £39 also. https://www.rapidformations.co.uk/additional-services/london-registered-office/
Ideal for scam sites 😉
At the very least if legit-ish, being OEM edition it will get tied to the first piece of hardware it's installed on, so won't be transferrable and can also be an issue if you change a major piece of hardware (motherboard for example).
Used them a number of times over the years for Ms software
All still working fine - just ridiculously cheaper than anyone else
Why on earth are you buying Windows 10 when it's free for all practical purposes?
It's not legit, they are selling windows "keys", which you can get for nothing
Where from Cougar?
Assistive technology
Isn't using the Assistive Technologies link a bit like parking in a "disabled" bay?
It’s fine, I’m only going to be 5 minutes, besides what ****ing business is it of yours?!

Parking in a disabled bay prevents those with a genuine need from being able to use it.
So, no.
Thanks.
I'll review my ethics policy.
What if I don't have win 7 or 8 to upgrade from?
The laptop I want it for is currently running Vista!
We use them all the time. Sometimes have to phone the automated MS line and provided the what seems like a 64 million character code to authenticate it but have never had an issue yet.
