Anyone know of a trustworthy site the sell 7 pro/ult oem keys? Can those under $50 be trusted?

Apparently i can't use my old ult key anymore if you upgrade to 10, as well as win 10 apparently limiting dx9 games to only 4gb vram. So buying another full copy of win 7 just to play dx9 games seems like a waste.

No. Anything you see significantly cheaper than the major retailers (Amazon/Newegg/Microcenter) is not legit.
Pro or Ultimate below $50? Not a chance.

I don't know if linking a CD-Key website is allowed on here or not. But USAFRet is absolutely wrong, I purchased a product key for Windows 10 Pro for $20 from the same website that I purchase all of my game cd-keys from. It worked perfectly fine, and is also completely legal. Do a little google search, some of the most popular (and legit) CD-Key websites also sell Windows product keys. From there, all you have to do is download Windows from Microsoft or borrow a disc from a friend.

Yeah, you go with that.
If you want, I can put up a whole bunch of links from people here and elsewhere that had not-legit keys, or keys deactivated later.

I don't know what any of you are talking about, I haven't had any issues with my product key. And it isn't an OEM key, it hasn't been revoked, and I paid the extra $1.50 for buyer protection through the website. I purchase all of my PC games through them, and haven't had any issues with any of those either.

It's up to the OP, but my opinion is that yes, some of those websites selling Windows keys under $50 can in fact be trusted. They are trustworthy for all sorts of other types of software and games, and in my opinion, Windows is no different. The rest of you can choose to disagree with me if you'd like, but my evidence is from personal experience, not paranoia or second hand stories.
