That said, however check the authenticity of a copy of Windows and remedy if this is not found activated, there are various systems: I also told you about it in my guides on how to know if Windows 10 is activated, how to activate Windows 8 and how to activate Windows 7.

It is therefore a question of 100% original licenses and resold in full compliance with the relevant European regulations.

All you have to do to proceed with the purchase of a license is to connect to the Mr Key Shop page dedicated to Windows 10, Windows 8 o Windows 7, choose theedition of the operating system of your choice and add it to the cartby pressing the appropriate button. I suggest you also take a look at the licenses for the Office package (in particular those for Office 2019, the most recent package from Microsoft) and those for the antivirus, also sold at very affordable prices.
