Read the reviews, those are grey market OEM's meant for Dell and similar. They will almost certainly not activate properly. I would strongly advise against them. Get the £69 version from CCL, it's 100% legit or if you are a student get Windows from the MS student store for £49

It wouldn't activate but it would definitely run.

Until it stops working 30 days later and then requires a fresh install :( I'd definitely get a legitimate copy.

It's fulfilled by Amazon. I cant imagine Amazon knowingly shocking/supplying grey market goods. But yeah good call on the student edition, find a friendly student and get them to order a copy for you.
