Protect Yourself From Tech Support Scams
Tech support scams are an industry-wide issue where scammers trick you into paying for unnecessary
technical support services. You can help protect yourself from scammers by verifying that the contact is a
Microsoft Agent or
Microsoft Employee and that the phone number is an
official
Microsoft global customer service number.
I built a computer recently (as in three days ago). I have downloaded an ISO of Windows 7 Ultimate from some site I forget. It was labeled as being legal as the copies came with a 30 day trial, not as a full version. I was planning on waiting to purchase
the full license later. But certain things are making it so that I need to purchase a key now (right now). All options in the store I see are for the DVD+Key. Where can I just purchase only the key as I already have a DVD I burned the ISO to? The Windows Store
is trying to shove Win 8 down my neck, but I heard bad things about 8.
