Sites to buy Windows 10
As I told you at the beginning of the guide, Windows 10 can be bought on the official Microsoft store in the form of a pendrive with the ISO image of the operating system or by downloading the latter (in both cases the product key of the copy of license purchase) but also on third-party online stores which, unlike the website of the Remdondiana company, also offer the opportunity to take home the package with the operating system installation DVD and the license key or to receive the product key only via email or other telematic means.
However, it should be borne in mind that, if on the Microsoft home store there is no type of risk during the purchase phase, as regards the other online stores, particular attention must be paid to all sellers who try to "place" license at lower prices than necessary. In these cases, unless there are particular offers in progress, it could be dealing with codes that are not genuine or that in any case could prove to be non-functional as inserted by the Redmond company in its blacklist. For the rest ... good shopping!
