This appears to be a deal exclusive for PCWorld Readers. However, as long as you are able to get to the below article (I found it, publicly, a couple of articles down from the top in their Software section), you can take advantage of this. This is a digital download, and the key is provided to you instantaneously after the payment processes. The wonderful thing about this digital download is the software comes from a legitimate, reputable source. They also give you options to download the software, or download the Media Creation tool.

NOTE: If I need to add, edit, or modify something, please let me know. I rarely post here, but I felt this deal was too good not to share! Don't roast me, bros!

NOTE 2: This deal appears to be available until October 25th.

Funny you mention that. Apparently, mods did not like this version of Windows was posted, and removed my last post.

Just to be clear, this post pertains to Windows 10 Home, Office Home and Student, and Office Home and Business. Otherwise, it does not meet SD's "...quality standards."

These keys are questionable at best because they are provided by Cleverbridge, which averages a 1.5 out of 5 star rating due to seedy practices.

"PCWorld's partner, Cleverbridge, is able to secure great discounts by going directly to software vendors and publishers, buying licenses in bulk, and then working with safe, secure brands (like PCWorld) to sell the software directly to consumers. Please note this deal is for an unlimited lifetime license for a single PC."

I have to take this data with a grain of salt. 103 reviews, and 80 of them, over the span of 4 years, are bad. Some reviews seem to be user error.

The last post was mine. It was removed because it mentioned Windows 10 Pro, which is another existing thread. The moderator allowed me to repost for Windows 10 Home, and Office only.

According to that article, the upgrade to Windows 10 for free requires the machine have a valid license, and be upgrading from an existing, activated version Windows 7, 8, or 8.1.

Do these keys expire? I probably won't build another PC at least until 2021 Intel cpus are available. I paid about full price last time, so a deal would be nice. Also not sure if I should do home again or professional.
