Hello, is it legal to sell a computer with Windows 10 not activated?

1. Generally if you can sell computers in your area then you can certainly do so without any operating system as long as you do not represent that one is included.

2. Generally the OEM Editions of Windows are meant for system builders and you would again need to contact Microsoft.

Those really cheap licenses are usually scams, OEM or not. Windows 10 Home OEM generally costs 100.00+ while Home Full Retail sells for about $140.00, and more for Pro versions. Legal sellers include Microsoft Store, NewEgg, Amazon, as well as legitimate BigBox Stores.
