I did exactly the same thing, just bought the key on ebay. Over there you can get one from £2.50+ I went for £4.75. Hope it is legal like that. The seller said it is. Used PayPal. The key worked for me. Just can’t get my head around this. How is Microsoft making money this way?
I think microsoft may discount sellers if they bought a large amount of keys at once. besides all the cheap keys are OEM versions of the Windows 10, the retail version starts from 15USD, so it’s safe to say that Microsoft mostly earns by selling bulk keys.
