Has anyone actually bought one and it worked?

Might be worth buying one as a spare “just in case”.

It seems Keith hasn’t bought chip lately. They are no longer cheap.

I’m not sure, a trawl through the web suggested mixed results, some were very happy and others said they had problems with e.g. credit card fraud or stuff not working. It could be good or a gamble.

Rip off. The last W10 Pro key I bought from E-Bay was £3.69.

I’ve never paid more than £4.00 and even got one for £1.69.

I can reassure you that they all still work.

I purchased a few off ebay last June 2017, never used and I don’t think I intend to use them.

I am sure they still work.

I have 3 up for grabs, you could always try them out.

Free to a good home.

Do you mean the ones originally in the link at $14 or the eBay ones or the ones johnbarry gave away.

Just to chip in done a few cheapies on ebay (checking for good feedback) and all AOK – and all in the £3 – £5 mark. Don’t know how/why but suspect they (MS) just happy to get 10 rolled out before they kill off everything else.

I’ve said it before so I’ll say it again

Guinea Pigs, the more the merrier, the quicker they find and repair faults.

It’s the only way, after stopping the free upgrade to 10 (realising they still need more testers)

How long will it last is the question

Oh you sceptic John ?

I normally question Microsofts motives too but the Windows error reporting service (WER) you pointed to is actually used most often to deal with errors in third party software.

WER is the last stage of dealing with unhandled exception errors and it is the thing that creates a mini dump to send to microsoft for possible investigation.

It been ages since doing a clean windows install, think if I recall I just did the update through W7 last time. After I get a code from eBay do I download everything from Ms?

Yes, you will be sent a link if buying a code from fleebay with a ms download link.
