Bought a win 10 64 key from ebay, did not work. The seller sent another one, did not work.

Am I making a mistake somewhere? 

I downloaded the image from microsoft of win 10. Ran in at startup, entered the key...

bought another one testing it out now.

You do know you can just use random windows 7 keys you find right? (i.e at work, or anywhere).

I bought a retired Dell business desktop on eBay and was able to use the Win 7 Pro key at least twice.

Id imagine eBay sellers would just send you random keys until one works. Im sure they simply got a bunch from a computer recycling center for like $1 each.

But above all else, you do KNOW that you dont even need to enter a key right?Huh Win 10 will work fine with all updates, you will only have a small water mark on the bottom right of the screen. No need to pay for mining use.

anything you buy on ebau for cheap is a key gen code and it will eventually get black listed.
