We CALLED Microsoft to Check if $12 Windows 10 PRO Keys are LEGIT... - YouTube
Channel: unknown
[0]
Windows 10 Keys this has been a
[3]
highly controversial topic for a few
[6]
years now and one of the channel
[8]
sponsors that i have here
[10]
at tech yes city scdkeys,
[13]
i've been using them personally for
[15]
years now
[16]
and the reason being is i actually
[18]
checked when i first
[19]
was negotiating a sponsorship with them.
[22]
I said "look
[23]
your keys have to be legit if they're
[26]
not legit
[27]
i don't want anything to do with you." and
[29]
so they then sent me over a few
[31]
keys, but i didn't want to trust that
[33]
method i went on to a separate account
[36]
from a new user and then bought some
[39]
keys
[40]
and individually tested them and when i
[42]
ran them two years ago
[44]
they were actually retail keys - that is
[47]
single end user licenses the keys that
[50]
you and I
[51]
should be using on our pcs especially if
[54]
we are
[55]
gamers... and especially in the last few
[58]
months i've been seeing
[59]
messages along the lines of "scdkeys are
[63]
selling
[63]
volume license keys you shouldn't buy
[66]
these,
[66]
they're not meant for the single end
[68]
user" and these comments they may be
[70]
right about
[71]
other sellers of Windows 10 keys but
[73]
they're actually not right about
[74]
scdkeys where a volume license key
[78]
is essentially designed for business to
[79]
business where they would give out a
[81]
single license and
[83]
that business could then use that same
[85]
license to deploy
[87]
across all their systems that they were
[89]
using hence saving them time
[91]
but also saving them money where they
[93]
got that volume license key
[95]
now there are ebay sellers that do sell
[98]
these licenses
[99]
and essentially it isn't legal however
[101]
that's enough talk
[103]
i'm going to go buy some licenses off
[105]
ebay
[106]
and also buy some licenses off scd keys
[110]
and then use those licenses on the pc
[112]
behind me
[113]
where we can check the validity of such
[115]
licenses to tell you guys
[117]
what's going on and furthermore i'll
[119]
even call up microsoft
[121]
and check with them with today's
[123]
licenses that we're going to use
[125]
let's get on with it and get the lowdown
[127]
for you guys
[128]
so here's our first little ebay key that
[130]
we got here we got this for six
[132]
aussie dollars however the listing has
[135]
already been removed
[136]
about 20 minutes after i bought it so
[138]
that was very quick
[140]
so i'm guessing ebay is already
[141]
filtering out these listings
[143]
and stopping them from being sold on
[145]
their website though we did get the
[147]
message through and we did get a key so
[149]
we're now able to grab this key
[151]
check it out and see what it says so our
[153]
first little ebay key right here has
[156]
netted a result of a windows 10 rtm
[159]
professional n so it's not even a pro
[162]
license it's a pro
[163]
n license which there are some
[165]
differences here and that is the end
[167]
takes away some features in windows
[169]
and i think it requires an actual
[171]
different install of windows too
[173]
though the most important thing is after
[174]
that it says volume mac
[176]
now mac means multiple activation key
[180]
so that is not meant for retail channels
[183]
at
[183]
all so that's one of the ebay keys what
[185]
we're going to do now is quickly buy
[187]
another ebay key
[188]
and see what results it turns out so the
[190]
next one now that we've dropped in here
[192]
is actually i don't even know if this is
[195]
worse or not but this is a windows 10
[197]
rtm
[198]
education n volume mac license
[202]
so that's two different ebay sellers two
[204]
different keys
[205]
i'm going to say if you want to get a
[208]
key off ebay
[209]
do tread lightly and we've just got our
[212]
first key now
[213]
purchased off the website scd keys we've
[216]
got here
[217]
windows 10 rtm professional
[220]
retail so this is the retail stuff this
[223]
is a single end user license however
[225]
we're not going to stop there i've got a
[227]
heap of different keys from this website
[229]
over the years so we're going to go
[230]
through a whole page of keys
[232]
and just check the validity of each and
[235]
every one of them and going through the
[236]
rest of the keys there is a little bit
[238]
of a twist here and that is that not all
[240]
the keys are base
[242]
windows 10 some of them are actually
[244]
windows 8.1
[246]
and the thing about this is those
[248]
they're still retail keys and the good
[250]
thing is here is
[251]
you can upgrade windows 8.1 windows 8
[254]
and windows 7 keys
[255]
to windows 10 for free and so some of
[258]
the keys might be different versions but
[260]
those versions will
[261]
upgrade and the good thing is is that
[263]
they are all retail keys
[265]
so it's finally time to put on that
[267]
bogan accent give
[268]
microsoft a call and see if these keys
[271]
are legit
[272]
thank you for calling microsoft
[282]
[Music]
[288]
thank you for calling microsoft support
[290]
my name is
[292]
your first name and last name oh hello
[294]
my name's bryan
[299]
hi bryan um bryan how may i help you
[302]
today
[302]
uh yeah um i just bought a pc off
[305]
uh facebook and my mate
[308]
said i should just check if my uh
[311]
windows 10
[313]
is okay
[318]
all right so the windows 10 is
[321]
working on it you're using windows 10
[323]
operating system on it
[324]
yeah it says it's activated but my
[327]
friend said i got to be
[328]
careful of what the key is
[334]
you've got to be careful of what like if
[336]
you buy
[337]
like some people buy keys off ebay and
[340]
they're not
[340]
real microsoft keys
[345]
so i just if your windows is already
[348]
activated you do not
[350]
need a key anymore okay
[353]
so that's um okay
[356]
thanks so my windows says it's activated
[360]
and with a digital license
[364]
okay i'll just look into this further
[366]
allow me a couple of minutes bryan
[368]
one your last name would be simpson
[369]
right yeah
[374]
yeah i've got i've got the key here if
[376]
you just want to check it
[381]
uh see that's absolutely fine it should
[384]
not be required
[385]
i'll just confirm a couple of things to
[387]
you and see
[389]
and make sure that your device is
[390]
running fine okay
[397]
and bryan i must tell you that if your
[401]
system is activated through a digital
[402]
line
[403]
license it will remain activated on this
[406]
computer
[406]
okay on this pc and you need not worry
[409]
about that so all the features of
[411]
windows 10
[412]
would be unlocked and you can use your
[414]
device
[415]
without any difficulties and access all
[419]
its features
[420]
okay yeah thanks mate okay i won't waste
[423]
any more of your time
[424]
thanks mate you're most welcome brian
[432]
and so there it is from microsoft
[434]
support themselves
[436]
they basically said if your windows 10
[438]
is activated
[439]
you have nothing to worry about and i
[441]
was a little bit surprised because i did
[443]
mention that i look i bought this key
[445]
off
[446]
marketplace and it could be a key
[450]
where my friends have warned me about
[451]
keys on ebay
[453]
and that didn't phase uh the customer
[455]
support team they just said look if
[456]
windows is activated
[457]
you are pretty much good to go we're
[459]
going to continue on now with
[461]
uh for instance you go to trustpilot
[463]
this is a big one because some people
[464]
have linked me to trustpilot where cd
[466]
keys for example
[467]
have been getting i'd say their
[470]
competitors are putting in fake reviews
[472]
because
[472]
i've never had a problem and i've got a
[474]
lot of friends that use scd keys as well
[477]
we've never had one problem with the
[478]
service you pretty much
[480]
log into the website use paper i use
[483]
paypal to buy the keys
[484]
and they're instantly delivered you just
[486]
go to show key and then your keys there
[488]
and all the keys have worked
[490]
and here's the best thing about today's
[492]
video with std keys because i went to
[494]
them and i said look
[495]
i'm going to do this video but can you
[496]
give the viewers a big discount and they
[499]
said look
[499]
it's the month of black friday we're
[501]
going to give a 30 discount
[503]
for people who use the coupon bftyc
[508]
and so i when i bought the keys today i
[510]
use this on a two-for-one combo so
[511]
they'll sell two retail keys
[513]
for a little bit cheaper than the price
[515]
of buying two individually
[516]
in a pack and this is a great option if
[518]
you're building more than one pc
[521]
because we see here with the cost it's a
[522]
little over 9 usd
[524]
for a single end windows 10 pro license
[528]
and they're a retail key so the bottom
[530]
line with scd keys the channel sponsor
[532]
here they're absolutely fine i'll put a
[534]
link in the description below
[536]
with this month's coupon code even
[538]
though it's black friday
[540]
tyc the bftyc i'm calling it the big fat
[544]
tyc discount for november when you get
[547]
30
[548]
off and they've also got other products
[550]
like office 2016
[552]
which i've activated one of these to my
[554]
microsoft account for instance if i
[556]
change pcs or upgrade my pc
[558]
i can then just log into that account
[560]
and i've got office
[561]
2016 available there so really handy
[564]
really good service and i do vouch for
[566]
my sponsors here at tech yeah city so if
[568]
you have any more questions or comments
[570]
about cd keys and windows 10 then be
[573]
sure to drop a comment in the comment
[574]
section below but there's also one more
[576]
thing as well and that is
[577]
if you get older pcs like in taiwan
[580]
i remember we went to a scrap yard and
[581]
we saw windows 7 keys
[584]
printed on these old computers if you
[587]
want to get a free key
[588]
it is possible to reuse older windows 7
[591]
keys
[592]
so there's that option too and so if you
[595]
see me on parts hunt sometimes i'll pick
[597]
up old windows 7 keys and when i've then
[599]
reused that motherboard put it in a
[601]
different case for example
[603]
i was then able to upgrade that windows
[604]
7 key to windows 10
[606]
and i didn't have to pay for a windows
[608]
10 license at all
[609]
so there's that option too anyway guys
[611]
we got the question of the day here
[612]
which comes from mr max gas
[615]
and they ask the lg cx supports
[618]
variable refresh rate right what about
[620]
the
[621]
c9 now both the c9 and the
[624]
uh cx they're the lg 4k 120 hertz oled
[628]
tvs
[629]
they support it both of them because
[631]
it's baked in i believe to the hdmi 2.1
[634]
standard
[635]
so you shouldn't have a problem it's
[636]
just then up to the firmware update
[638]
and also the update of the device you're
[640]
using
[641]
whether it be a playstation 5 or an xbox
[644]
series x
[645]
or a pc graphics card it's up to that
[647]
manufacturer to then
[648]
work with that tv to get that working
[651]
properly
[652]
so yes it can work just whether it will
[655]
work and how much time it takes for that
[657]
to work
[657]
is another thing anyway guys hope that
[659]
answers that question and i'll catch you
[661]
in another tech video very soon
[662]
peace out for now bye
[674]
[Music]
[681]
yes
