OK I feel I am actually going crazy here, but I need to buy a new OS for my new PC, as my old w7 install was OEM, so I had a look on amazon.co.uk for a cheap w7 or reasonably price w10, so i could compare the prices and decide if I want w7 or 10.
So I am going through the listings and every single copy of windows seems to be sold by a couple of sellers (Microsoft Software is one, the other called just called Microsoft) who seem to have completely flooded amazon with counterfeit windows, every review section is full of people who got sent Dell repair CDs, product keys from torrents etc.
The crazy thing is I cant find any other sellers, its just these 2. The annoying thing is I dont even have patience for this, I dont even want windows, 10 seems garbage and 7 is so old I hardly want to pay full price for it. Im too stupid to use linux, although I will be dual booting it for sure this time to try it out, but im having a big problem justifying the purchase of an OS that I think is basically just laggy spyware (w10) or soon to be obselete w7. rock and a hard place right now
Does anyone know where I can get guaranteed legitimate windows for a good price in uk?
