I'm a bit suspicious of this, but the source (of the info.) seems OK:

Too good to be true?
I'm toying with the idea of putting W10 on a spare HDD (but I could still get free, of course), as an 'upgrade' to W7. If it's on another disk I can just dump it - seems a good precaution!
Address :
AMZGAME CO.,LIMITED (FLAT/RM B,4/F,KINGSWELL COMM TOWER 171-173 LOCKHART RD WANCHAI ,HK)
Hong Kong.... Flat 4 4th floor.
Too good to be true? Yes, IMHO.
I haven't checked this particular deal but, over very similar past offers have queried MS contacts directly, and received a very blunt warning that such deals DO NOT originate with MS, and that they do not sell in this way.
So, if you want to be SURE that your licence will, a) activate, and b) not invalidate
at some point in the future, buy through a known authorised reseller, and I'm betting you won't find these prices.
If you buy this, it might work, it might last for a while or it might not. If it dies, my bet is you'll get nowhere moaning to MS. You pays yer money, and takes yer chance if you buy from a Digital Del-Boy.
Oh, and read the comments on that link at TH.
MS have downscaled their HK operation?Quote:

Words like ‘touch’, ‘barge pole’, ‘it’ and ‘don’t’ spring to my mind. :)
I attempted to use the same site to purchase a Wolfienstien 2 key as they where advertising on Quidco and where cheap plus 8% cash-back, and it was 25 quid I thought it was worth the risk. 5 minutes after my was payment taken through PayPal I get an email asking for copies my identity documents... Straight on to PayPal for a refund, email sent to Quidco complaining.
Avoid!
If it sounds too good to be true it probably is.
Yes indeed - Don't touch, barge pole it!Quote:

Not sure if it's legit as I thought you could only buy OEM with hardware. Links to 8keys.de for the download...
That was never the case in the UK as far as I'm aware, just a US workaround.Quote:
