Hi Deniz1,
This is the best option I've come across.
It's also a reasonable price to pay.
Checked my Windows edition, it was OK.

Just a quick note on legitimate purchase keys and 'OEM' , in case it is relevant to anyone.

An OEM key for windows, once applied to a give machine / laptop can not then be transferred to a different laptop or machine even if you stop using it on the original machine. A 'retail' key can be so transferred. As long as you stop using it on the first machine you used it on, you then have the right to use it on a subsequent one. OEM keys are cheaper than 'retail' ones because of this.

One wrinkle I've discovered over the years is that often Microsoft installs over the internet behave differently in browsers other than Microsoft Internet Explorer... so for example Google Chrome may not install Microsoft products correctly in that you try to follow the on-line instructions and you seem to get odd behaviour which doesn't match what the instructions indicate should happen. In short use Microsoft Internet Explorer to install Windows software like OS and MS Office.
