You will need to have Pro installed first as the key won’t work on a Windows 10 Home.

Just saw that on redmondpie.

[NOTE: This sounds like a bum key. See my warning below. -WL]

Is reselling OEM keys legal?
Do we want to be part of it – by posting here?

In this instance legal means that Microsoft allows its sale in the terms of its licensing agreements with resellers. In Fall of 2018 I purchased and installed a Windows 10 Home key for $50 from a reseller in New Jersey. That was the least expensive price I could find at that time. It wasn’t $189 or $99, which is why I got it. That purchase activated just fine on the user’s machine and they’ve now been using it for 1 1/2 years.

Most upgrading Win 7 or Win 8 users can still get free Windows 10 just by installing it (search for lots of info).  If you started with 7 home, you usually end up with 10 home.  Which is fine for most, although you can’t join a domain, don’t have easy access to group policies, have less control over updates, and can’t use Bitlocker.  If you have been using 7 home you already didn’t have these abilities.

So if I have Pro now, why would I want to buy another questionable key? Isn’t one enough?

If you have a Win10 trial version installed, it appears it should permit you to validate it so it doesn’t work for only a limited period of time. However, the source website’s about page indicates:

We cover almost all news and reviews from … jailbreaks and unlocks

The linked post also states:

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post but we don’t get any commission from sales made on URCDKeys.

It was surprising that there isn’t any easy-to-find information on the legality of these OEM keys on their website, to reassure potential customers that they are not pirated. Caveat Emptor…

This “bargain” strikes me as a dubious deal. Think smart, not cheap.

agree, MSFT would have to pay me that amount per day to use W10 as a daily driver on our devices, having tried most ‘creature updates’ on W10 Pro from 1511 to 1909 😛

It sounds too good to be true. I would recommend staying far away from the offer. If you get a lousy key, it may be rescinded at any point.

If you have a valid Win7 or 8.1 license, you can upgrade your machine in place to a “real” copy of Windows 10. If you need Win10 for some other reason, I strongly urge you to buy a real copy.

I purchased a Pro key  intending to update from Home ver 1803. $50. It worked fine BUT that company is now gone in the wind, Go figure!. I actually used the key with help from msft support, it wasnt an update but a key for the ‘whole’ os….I know all of Pro features are in every Home version just waiting to be turned on w/ an upgrade key. I think I was just lucky. I ONLY wanted pro because of the ability to control somewhat the update feature. It seems now ver 1903 Home and pro are very nearly the same. INMO, win 10 is akin to vista. sna*u

If MS says its good why not just believe them? OK they perhaps do lie but you can always just buy another key.

Just because you don't know where you are going doesn't mean any road will get you there.
