What games you play?

Not much lately, but went to school for IT and software development and used to build PCs in my spare time. Now that I have a son I don't get that much time to any more

The build or the Key?
Retail windows keys are marked up 10x their cost.

I've been buying Windows 10 keys off ebay for 25 bucks or less for years

Theres multiple

Some IT guy selling unused keys from their business computer stock
Some guy selling the same license copied over and over just re sealed
Someone re labeling a windows 7/8 key as windows 10 and re sealing it (These still work for W10)

The bottom one, is exactly how MS treats an "upgrade" from Win 7/8 to Win 10. When you do an "upgrade" install from Win 7/8, it uses your Win 7/8 license key.
