Windows 10 Licenses

The Windows 10 Licenses category covers Home and Pro editions in OEM and Retail licence types, plus a Home to Pro upgrade key for existing installations. Windows 10 remains a practical choice for hardware that can't meet Windows 11's requirements, for businesses standardised on Windows 10 workflows, and for anyone who prefers to stay on the interface they already know. Every key here is genuine, activates directly through Microsoft's servers, and comes with an invoice.

Which Windows 10 licence should I buy?

Start with the edition: Home covers everyday use and gaming perfectly well; Pro adds BitLocker disk encryption, Remote Desktop, Hyper-V virtualisation and domain-join support. From there, pick a licence type. If you're keeping the same PC for years, the Home OEM or Pro OEM licence is the most cost-effective — it's permanently tied to the motherboard and reactivates automatically after a format. If you plan to upgrade your hardware later, the Home Retail or Pro Retail licence travels with you to a new machine.

OEM vs Retail, side by side

Looking for the more budget-oriented MAK-type key? It's stocked one level up in the main Windows Licenses category. For a fuller breakdown of licence types, see our OEM vs Retail licence guide.

How the Home to Pro upgrade key works

The Windows 10 Home to Pro Upgrade Key converts an existing Home installation to Pro without a format — your files and apps stay untouched, and the upgrade is permanent. Two rules to remember: the key must be redeemed within 1 day of delivery, and it doesn't licence Windows on its own — you'll still need a separate Windows 10 Pro licence to activate Pro once the upgrade is applied.

Windows 10's end of support — what it means for you

Microsoft ended free security updates for Windows 10 on 14 October 2025. That doesn't affect what you're buying here: a Windows 10 licence remains valid for the lifetime of the installation, and the system keeps activating and running as normal — it simply won't receive new security patches going forward. For hardware that can't move to Windows 11, Windows 10 is still a legitimate, working choice. If you're deciding whether to upgrade, our Windows 10 end-of-support guide lays out the options plainly. When you're ready to move up, Windows 11 licences are right next door.

Delivery, invoicing and support

After payment confirmation, your licence key typically arrives by email within 1–90 minutes, with an invoice issued on every order. Keys are genuine and verifiable directly through Microsoft's activation servers. If anything trips you up during installation or activation, our WhatsApp support team is available to help.
