The problem with Microsoft support is that it sounds too much like a scam call.
This is partly why people fall for virus scams.
I once spoke to someone at MS support in the same country as me. Flabbergasted.
@@horusrogue The scams try too hard, their too convincing!
@@pythonner3644 no way.
I've been getting a lot of calls claiming to be from Apple Support recently. Not only do I not own any Apple products, but every time they call, the caller ID shows a different number. Plus, in no world does support from any company call you out of the blue.
maybe they are the same person. u know 2nd job :)
That Microsoft guy sounded just like the scammers that call pretending to be from Microsoft.
I came to find this exact comment.
That happens when a lot of legit tech support job gets outsourced to India, the notoriuos home for scammers as well...
Yep 🤣🤣

when you call Microsoft a Pakastani answers te phone. totally legit.
So, in short, "If you are not a business, you can pirate it, we don't care"
Libertarian Capitalist when he realizes not everyone in the world is a business: *triggered*
As long as you have an invoice fro your licenses, nobody cares what exactly is installed on your machines (in business env)
That has pretty much always been Microsoft’s motto.
@@veselinkovachev1154 yupp, a Microsoft rep once told me they didn’t care if we used activation cracks and “non-genuine” keys on our business machines as long as we had proof of the real licenses somewhere
Almost all the businesses in Bulgaria are pirating it too. I have never seen a legal windows copy ever in my life here in Bulgaria other than the ones that come with OEM stickers. All my friends, all my relatives, all the businesses I know use activators. If you buy your PC from smaller shops again it comes with a windows activated with activator.

@@i1patrick I purchased a couple of licenses from them in the past as well. Still doesn't change the fact that this video feels like a long-form advertisement.
yes and no. Its his sponsor, his own credibility is at stake if they sell false keys. So this video is showing to all his viewers that he does his due dilligence and his sponsor is legit. this way he does not get as much negative comments about it anymore and if it does turn out they do sell bad keys at some point he can point out he did his homework and checked in stead of just taking their money and promoting illegal keys.
@@Megacheez ahhh...okay. Didn't realize that this is his sponsor. This is my first time seeing this RUclipsr's channel. He should have said something at the beginning of the video then. Otherwise, it makes him look bad to someone new to the channel. It certainly turned me off from seeing any other of his vids. Thanks for the explanation.
that conversation with the "tech support" guy meant nothing!
True .. there is no responsibility
Only to make people buy from sdkeys ...
Unlike & unsubscribe as well. This is shit advertising..I'm using those keys as well but I wouldn't encourage people doing it as is not really legal..even if I'm doing that doesn't mean that what I'm doing is good...
Well it means the support desk employee lacks basic understanding of the question asked and the tools or knowledge to verify the key and does not care at all. Standard Microsoft support.
Means that Microsoft does not care as long as you get your windows copy to show as activated... god enough for me...
'Cause I use Linux anyway.
Retail keys makes up such a tiny part of Microsoft's profit that they can't be bothered about Grey market keys
Because they sell your data to 3rd parties which is why they want people using their OS
100%. Microsoft makes a mint on Cloud computing& enterprise licenses. The could not care less about cheap retails keys.
Exactly - and the tracking info they get from your system is more valuable to them than the loss of the retail key sale - so they could care less where you got the key from as long as you connect your system to their servers. These type of key resellers have been around since window 3.1 - figure on windows 7 the way the OEM keys were setup was each pre-built PC actually came with 2 valid keys that could be used on 2 systems ( 1 was for the individual machine and attached to the pre-built case to be used if you ever had to reinstall the software from scratch but was normally never actually used since the OEM had their own bulk key they used to activate all of their systems as they were built - so 3rd party companies that refurbished off lease systems just resold those keys since 99%+ of those keys were never used and any that had been that did not properly activated were just tossed out and you given another if you called them after buying to say it would not work.) So they had millions of keys that were never used. ( I remember going to a retail store a few times when needing a key and just copying the key off of the certificate on a display laptop or desktop and going home and entering it to activate systems when I couldn't afford to buy a license and never had problems activating it - and as the support rep said in this video once it is activated on their server it will stay activated for that system for life.)
Interesting. I think at this point microsoft is practically handing out keys and couldn’t be bothered to change or market their new business model for suckers who still want to pay full retail for OS.
Recently phone activated a win10 key purchased on a key sales site(cdkoffers). It was a verified end user retail key.
The first thing the CSR asked was where I got the key(without being told any information, so he didn't know anything about the key except that it was win 10 home).
It IS in their script somewhere, but I think it's in relation to volume and OEM licenses for tracking. M$ does not want those being sold as retail keys
The link in the description is not working anymore,
Does someone know where I can buy a from another website?
Yes, I got my key from another channel, It's incredibly cheap, and they have great support!

@@cgsoul1 , how about India crack down on all the scammers. If they give India such a bad rep that NO LEGIT BUSINESS can be trusted!!

Because they are scammers too
I have to thank you for this video. There are many scammers out there. I watch your videos, you are one of the most honest techtubbers so I thought "if HE recommends it, I trust him" and so I did purchase a windows key from them and it worked. You saved me a lot of dollars, and being in a Latinamerican country, that's A LOT of money. So again, thank you very very much
The bottom line with Microsoft support is that they want users to be happy with Windows, so if you have an activated Windows, they aren't going to rock the boat even if they suspect an inappropriate license. They prefer to fight the scam at the seller level rather than the user level. However, it seems they have revoked some volume licenses that were heavily abused in the past.
Generally in my experience, Windows 7 Professional keys included on business computers don't have any OEM restrictions and will work on any PC as a legitimate Windows 10 license. If a Windows 7 licensed computer is dead, you can usually use its license elsewhere. Just watch out for accidentally using the same key on more than one computer because you forgot that you were using it elsewhere. If a key has the letters "OEM" as part of the key, then it won't be transferable to a different system (though I haven't seen any Windows 7 Pro keys that were like this, but that doesn't mean they couldn't exist).
Incidentally, I usually use Linux, which is one way to avoid issues with licenses, but sometimes there are reasons to use Windows or a Windows VM, so I am on the lookout for Windows 7 Professional keys that can be reused for Windows 10 (or occasionally a 7 install for some odd reason).
Yes, we bought key from Hypestkey Software, they Microsoft Partner, but price little more 20+ for windows 11
people paying for windows keys:
me, having photographed every Win 7 Pro key off of the hundreds of PCs I've thrown out while in various IT departments: legit?
lol yep and with how little they care one of those win 7 pro oem keys can probably work a bunch of times. its all about the collected data for microsoft now
yes completely legit. I have a draw full of them myself, some from laptops from boxes.
old keys are fully legit in the current day.
Awesome man. I'm hopefully building a PC this black friday and was wondering if you could maybe give me a spare win 7 key. No worries if not just tryna save a few bucks.
OK, but those ol technet win7 MAKs are awesome

From what I read on a similar video to this years ago, a court case in Germany decided that CD keys on Steam could be resold. However, this ruling also ended up applying to any software using keys, including Windows. If you look into sites like SCDkey, you'll find they are based out of Germany and this court ruling is the main reason why. I have used SCDkey several times over the years for myself, friends, and family... I have never had a problem with one of their keys activating and have ALWAYS received retail copies of Windows even though I purchased OEM keys. It is generally recommended that you attach the computers to a Microsoft account so that Windows license becomes associated with your account, that way the keys can't be resold to someone else a 2nd time.. but I have never had issues with SCDKey.
scd it sell oem keys, retail keys you can buy only from microsoft partners, like - Hypestkey Software
When it comes to VL keys that ruling only applies if you sell the entire license as a unit.
Also MSDN keys most likely do not fall under that ruling as they are only intended to be used by the MSDN subscriber for their own personal evaluation uses.
I've bought from them and been happy. I was a little suspicious with one key but discovered I got it from a different place. Now I realize I hadn't unactivated the previous machine and the key was probably OK, but at these prices it doesn't hurt a lot. I've successfully used old Win 7 and Win 8 keys to activate Win 10, but you have to make certain you're matching Home and Pro keys to the right activation.
Your like the only tech youtuber who answers questions we actually want to know lol
But he failed to answer it correctly when he failed to insist that the MS employee verify the key. Do not rely on this video.
@@GlennsFastReviews nah, I've used it before and have called Microsoft to verify, at least when this video cameout it was legit, it's due to the fact you can write a script to pull keys. That's why they are cheap.
@@brett7277 What do you mean "a script to pull keys"?
BTW, I searched for SCDkeys but it didn't come up - maybe they got busted?
its never about the key itself, its about how they obtain the keys...here in my country it was a huge legal case of corruption regarding digital keys for education system where the government paid huge amount of money for keys from shady intermediates
you don't even have to pay huge amount of money. If they did they got scammed lol. Such Key's are super Cheap.
It was only a scandal because the government officials who purchased the expensive keys were revealed to be a bunch of idiots.
As they say... "Not our problem"
That sounds like Bulgaria...

Thanks Brian. I'm glad you did this video as I don't think it's been done by any other content creators, at least not recently for sure.
I purchased both a Windows server 2019 and a windows 10 pro key. Both worked perfectly.
In order to use them, both versions had different means by which they needed to be activated.
I had do basically a reinstall from home to pro. And with sever from Evaluation to Standard I needed to use a command prompt and get the syntax correct for a long command.
Once I stopped making mistakes it worked perfectly.
Cheers Bryan, my media PC has not been activated and I got tired of the watermark... got it done during the video :)
the microsoft support guy legit didn't sound like he could care at all if it was some random 5$ gray market key or a retail key they just want your data they collect either way
Basically that. Microsoft doesn't do anything even against piracy since, I think, 2011 (when they released a small anti piracy update for windows 7).
Windows 8 cracks work on w10 without issues, that's just hilarious. And there are some cracks out that basically generate undistinguishable digital liceses by registering the mobo at MS's servers. Even with a new HDD its then still activated. It's ridiculous that something like this works since YEARS.
The reason is most likely, as you said, they still make money from the pirated installs.
I saw one for 0.01 dollars in aliexpress
There is zero chance that some dude in an Indian call centre has access to the back-end services to verify validity of Windows keys anyway - that's why he was basically saying "dude if it activated for you.. then you know as much as I know about your key. i guess its fine *shrug*".
The real test for this would be to email Microsoft and ask them for confirmation that these keys are correctly (legally) licensed for use in Australia.
Spoiler: they would likely say NO, because COST price for a key in Australia from an OEM distributor is circa $150.
That said - these are still 'genuine' Microsoft Win 10 retail keys of course, just not licensed for distribution to the Australian market - eg: grey market imports. As with most other products, I doubt that would be an impact for 99% of users.
@@m0rthaus not sure about that. I have activated office 2007 and Windows XP/Vista via phone years ago - Indian guys at the other end of the line
@@TheRailroad99 that the problem with the office they have it where you link the key to email account I think that’s has they can do it but with windows keys you don’t need to link it with the account they just try to force you making account just don’t connect to the internet after you do a reset or fresh install
You should contact them again and explain the situation as clearly and concisely as possible. Provide them with all the details of your purchase, including the company or website where you bought the key from, and emphasize your concern about the possibility of it being a grey market key. Make sure to explain that you need to ensure the validity of the key and ask if they can provide you with any assurance that it is legitimate. It is likely that this rep did not completely understand the situation and you should take the time to explain it in greater detail.
why bother?
And dont be afraid to ask to speak with an English-as-first-language agent. Explain you feel that the situation wasnt understood and context was lost, and you may have been given incorrect info on this important matter.
don't bother its a waste of time...Support are useless. A Lot of companies are like this now, including gov departments, you have to jump through hoops to report crime no one cares. Governments very bad, they often bullshit you about privacy, but when u complain about a bad company, they disclose you're details too that company, even thou they say they don't. Also criminals have you're details but the police will not hand you the offenders details, so there is no justice or fairness.
@@mystixa Well, keep in mind that there are still people who care about honesty and integrity and paying businesses for the staff and research that require supporting new products.
You may not understand because you think leeching and causing others to do work for you and give you free services you are not entitled to is ok. But, I hope I am wrong.
@@bjtaudio I think for MSFT, they kind of expect you not to be in a place where you have to report yourself for doing something that seems shady in the first place and they certainly don't want Tier 1 folks doing it and I doubt even their Tier 3 team. The idea of trying to track down every individual who benefited from piracy is probably going to cost more than it's worth since there are good humans doing legit business with them.
Those are the real folks you hurt when you don't pay for the product you use because cost just gets passed on to the legit folks.
Perfect! And fast delivery! Thanks for the hookup, saved TONS!

Like Bryan, I've used SDCkeys for many years now. Every key has checked out as a retail or OEM key based on which I purchased (reselling used PCs or personal rigs). The keys always activate, and none have been deactivated. Reactivating the retail keys due to hardware upgrades has never been an issue. Systems I've sold with these keys have never had an issue I am aware of.
Whats the difference between OEM and retail?
@@danielbotelho7854 Retail keys can be moved to new hardware. OEM keys are tied to the hardware when activated.

Thanks for clearing this up I didn't believe in it for years. I had unactivated windows and grew tired of the blocky taskbar look. I used your link, I shot for the stars thinking, "Might as well get the pro edition." Sadly with their keys you have to stick with home if you got home or reinstall windows to pro edition. I couldn't be bothered so I stuck with home edition, they replaced the 2 pro keys I bought with "home edition." Now I'm on my way.
What software or which part of Win 10 do you use to show what type of licence you have?
What program are you using to check the licenses?
Hello! Nice video!
Btw, at 2:55 what's that software you're using to check the keys?
That is a toolkit used to activate Windows using pirated activation methods, it happens to include a little console where you can check keys.
I use their keys, especially on my VM's with no problems at all - they're great value.
The only issue I've ever had was before I linked the Win10 install to my Miscrosoft Profile. The key activated after I bought it, the problem was when I reinstalled Win10 about 6 months later it said he key wasn't valid and failed activation. A call Microsoft sorted it in about 10 mins. However, since linking my Miscrosoft account to the Win10 install I've not had this problem.
Wonderful video and lucky for your sponsors because I've been in dire need for someone trust worthy!

I like some of the transitions, but sometimes they're a bit too much and are seemingly random. Since we use these persistent elements that transition across pages to indicate some kind of relationship between the previous and the next states, some of your transitions confuse me because I can't immediately see what the relationship is.
For example 2:23 of the selectable tiles (which weren't selected) transition into being two switches... does that mean anything? are they related in some way? I see this as random and a bad use of the design language. However, at 1:14 I like the transition from switches to the ticks on a paper, that makes sense to me. Epic presentation tho
At 8:20 I realized that this video is just an ad for the company
For those who don’t understand, India is heaven for call centres as they operate at low costs, with tech savvy and English speaking employees. It’s the perfect breeding ground for big companies’ support team hence there are also many scammers from there.

i worked in fraud investigations before, these are cheap because the money used are from stolen debit and credit cards (these "resellers" dont have anything to lose, they can even sell them a buck each, they'd still make money off it). A lot of them stolen from the older population too. Now, if it was a debit card stolen, its literally stolen straight off their personal bank account. Almost like the thieves hands went in there and steal their hard earned retirement money. It's painful to see. I don't recommend supporting sellers like these esp after learning how and why "resellers" sell them for cheap.

Hello what app is that you are using to check out the license info for the windows key?

I knew someone that worked at Microsoft and he said as a home user they will never go after a home user with a pirated copy of Windows but if you are selling or have a site selling illegal copies they go for the maximum sentence they can get.

Can you tell me what that software is? Also, I'm thinking about building a gaming PC in 2021, perhaps late 2021. So when should I buy the key from SCDKEY website? Should I buy it when the PC is already built or could I buy it, say 4 weeks before I'm ready to build? One final question here, do you have a video on how to install windows on a new PC using the SCDKEY key? Thanks and sorry for the long post.
What program did you use to check these Windows Keys?
I remember when you'd always recommend buying the keys cheaply from eBay. Then you got sponsored by a key seller and suddenly you were recommending keys for double the price they could be purchased off eBay for. Weird that.
someone needs to eat
I will say atleast with their site you are pretty much guaranteed a working key or your money back. eBay even though I have never had an issue with one isn’t guaranteed and you would have to go through PayPal bc eBay doesn’t support selling software keys I’m pretty sure
@@zead9481 Just had a lovely sandwich for breakfast. Butter, lettuce, and mayo on wholemeal bread.
Absolutely nothing to do with it being the only stuff I had left in my fridge.
Ebay are cracking down on keys, plus in the video he shows that Ebay keys are likely volume keys which aren't allowed to be resold as opposed to a single retail licence
@@voteDC I don't think he meant you 😂
What tool are you using to check key validity?
@brocktravis
late reply but they’re using Windows Toolkit - it’s a well known piracy tool, but only used here for demonstrating key validation
Your 1st scdkey link gives a Windows 10 Pro OEM license. I was expecting Retail. Is this correct?
Is this for a fresh install or for use after installation also
That's some badass "I show you how legit my sponsor is" advertisement! Hopefully you will get your fairshare out of it too. Even if it's just a big ol' thanks a lot from scdkeys.
LOL, Bryan, I love your "rube" Australian accent!!! ROFL!!!
Thanks for the info. I was still able to use that promo code too, even though it is over a year old. For $12 us, you can't go wrong with this. Cheers mate!
What tools were you using to check these? I am currently going through all my old keys and want to verify if they are legit or not.
What program are you using at 2:34 and beyond to check the key and obtain the version number?
It's a crack toolkit called MS Toolkit
@@Sam-zw2kp Do you know anywhere I can get a copy which is not infected with malware? All the sources I check are infected
You told the customer service gentleman that you brought a laptop off marketplace not a windows key, I feel he would have looked more into it if you mention it was a key you purchased.
Exactly, MS would look bad and harm W10 if they were deactivating 2nd hand installs.
If he'd been honest as a commercial builder installing gray market keys, I doubt he'd have been reassured.
There is zero chance that some dude in an Indian call centre has access to the back-end services to verify validity of Windows keys anyway - that's why he was basically saying "dude if it activated for you then you know as much as I know about your key. i guess its fine".
The real test for this would be to email Microsoft and ask them for confirmation that these keys are correctly (legally) licensed for use in Australia. Spoiler: they would likely say NO.
Hello, wat software are you using to check the keys?
what command or soft did you use? and does it use actually check anything with MS or just reads local data?
I have used SCDkeys after watching Bryan's videos, without any issues. Side note I do remember an old LTT about Windows keys, and from what he explained (and I couldn't be bothered checking) North America is a different licensing to say Europe & Australia, etc. My take from that video is these "types" of keys are legal everywhere except North America. So totally legal and legit depending on where you are.
They aren't illegal in the US by the way.
5:15 This is how Aussie sounds like 😂
Thank you so much for your work. A very interesting video!
What software did you use at 2:37 to check the info of the key?
ya dont need to change your voice like that when over the phone mate ! lmao
Especially when you're showing yourself using the voice on a public video. Lol
He might as well have told the guy he just baght a Microsoft Knaife to hunt crocodiles ... don't think the guys respond would be much different .. "If the Croc is dead your fine Mate .."
Some of the scammers should do stand up comedy.... They'd get paid much more than trying to scam. But as long as people never learn, well.. their jobs are safe for another decade.
I believe having a few devices activated with such key on a single network will not alarm Microsoft. But it'll be a whole different situation using same activation method in a corporate environment with 100's or 1000's of devices.
Mate, I've brought and installed more than 15 Win10 Pro and a few Win10 Home keys in the last 18 months from them since following your channel. I've only ever had 1 bad key and it was replaced within 5-10mins of contacting their on-page bot. Couldn't say a bad word about them. Cheers from NZ 👌👌🙏🙏
What sites did you buy off mate?
@@papayoda8606 From Bryan's sponsor bro. vip.SCD keys. Can't beat them.
im excited to finally upgrade to windows 10 pro tonight :) thanks for confirming they will work
