DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!
My Windows 10 Pro key does not work. I reinstalled a fresh version of Windows and it will not accept the key. There is no option to activate by phone as is stated in the instructions. There is no customer service, only a computer to chat with that does not understand the problem. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!

I really like using Kinguin. It's safe and reliable, I've never had a problem on this site. Unlike G2A, there is no monthly protection fee that they don't tell you about. I've bought many games, even a Windows 10 key, and I've never had a problem with the keys. If there is any other problem with the site, then I contact the support team and they answer within seconds, and solve the problem as quick as possible. I love this site, I buy more games from Kinguin than I do from Steam now. I highly recommend you buy your games here, but check the prices on Steam as well because when Steam has a sale, it is sometimes cheaper than Kinguin, but usually Kinguin has the cheaper prices. Also, I get the keys instantly in most cases. The longest I've waited is maybe an hour or two for CS: GO skins a while back. I have 43 orders, some are games, some are CS: GO skins, keys and cases, and a few of those bundled keys for $5 or so, along with the Windows 10 key. I also bought some games together so the 43 orders, becomes 50+ games and other purchases. I wouldn't say I'm a Veteran on the site or whatever, but I have used it quite a bit.

I ordered a windows licence, and had some issues to activate it. 15 minutes later, with the live chat, and it was solved!

They deserve their 5*, you have to take the "insurance" just to be sure, but it is a no brainer!
