    Where? All that's still being sold is Windows 7 Pro for several hundred.

    Ebay, I've used two different sellers. One mailed coa with install DVD/iso download. The other was download only. There's a Microsoft tool that'll make windows isos bootable for a thumb drive.

    Sorry they're as low as 60$ for 64bit pro.
    They are legit, you might have to validate twice though, this is common.

    I don't trust Ebay for stuff like that. I know some people who got burned big time on buying Windows OS from Ebay. Too many counterfeits floating around. To each their own though.

    You might change your mind when you see the near 5k sold in the first listing.
    The two licences of windows 7 I've bought off eBay are both ready to update to windows 10. Im just lazy and tight on disk space.

    Call me stupid or paranoid if you want but I rather pay a reasonable premium of $79.99 (sale price) and take the safe route. Thats just me though so meh.

    Yeah now that I see the prices, and the convenience factor it might be less cost/time/stress.

    a few of us have put some effort into avoiding the upgrade to hear someone wants to buy it was funny and inspired my initial reply.

    And to be honest, I'm rather naive in avoiding it. Things like dx12, maybe something about multi non hetero genus GPUs working together, when I see those benefits kick in I'll have to update.

    I bought a Win 10 Pro through eBay and paid with Paypal. It was a bogus COA and I complained to eBay and Paypal. Ebay banned the seller and Paypal had my money back to me in a couple of days. It turned out to be nothing more than a little hiccup. I always use Paypal on eBay.

    RETIRED. NO JOB. NO MONEY. NO WORRIES!

    On Newegg, keep an eye out for this badge:

    I bought some RAM a few days ago and saw that it is now on sale... I filed a Price Match claim and they approved it right away. You have two weeks to file.

    Over the weekend I got a good deal on some G-Skill Mac RAM so I upgraded my MacBook Pro from 4GB to 8GB.

    Nice! More RAM = access to more of the high-RAM tasks at one time, or VMs!
