Hello so i bought a key for 300 rupees from the below link


Windows 10 Pro Retail Key✅ 32/64bit Genuine License Instant delivery | eBay
• This product CAN NOT use with Windows Create Tool. Only work with already Windows installed on your devices. supplied by authorized Microsoft partners.
www.ebay.com


and it activated instantly, however i am not sure it is an OEM or Retial key

i googled something and found its a VOLUME_MAK key, now what is the meaning of this.

see the screen shot attached, can i re use on some other pc, is it a real retail key or what

so when i change laptop can i use this same license,

any harm in using this key

You paid for key which was either stolen or wasn't meant to be resold. It may not be reused and it might get de-activated randomly. TBH, you shouldn't have bought it.

Don't waste more money, use Windows 10 unactivated.

As mentioned above,use win 10 in forever trial mode with only limitations being unable to use personalization options like changing wallpapers,lock screen etc. Another option would be to install win 7 ultimate(use "ahem" loader for activation) & then upgrade it to win 10 pro for free. After that just format & fresh install win 10 pro.

I agree. Either use windows 10 unlicensed, or buy proper license.
In my case, since I have migrated to Linux (now Arch btw :D) the key I bought from gvgmall dot com is working fine for me. Got it for about Rs 1k, but I haven't had the issue of loosing the license since 8 months now.

Rs 300 is dirt cheap price for an OS.
Absolutely its a Stolen or Unused key. There is a big chain of network who buy such keys in Bulk and sell on dirt cheap prices online,
