Is it Still Possible to Buy Windows 7?
Friday, October 5, 2018 by VampireFox2 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Hi,
There wasn't anyone I knew that had an old Windows 7 product key so I'm looking to purchase one. Is it still possible to? And if so where do I go to buy one legally? Thanks

A fresh Win 7 copy is rare these days, but copies are still available at various online stores here in Australia, and I imagine the same is true in the US and elsewhere. To find a copy in a bricks n' mortar store is much harder, though, unless you're lucky enough to find one in a smaller PC store somewhere.
However, I wouldn't bother hunting around for one. The quickest and easiest way would be online. You can pretty much have it instantly once your purchase is approved.

Try here: https://www.newegg.com/Operating-Systems/SubCategory/ID-368
If your looking to buy a key just do a search on line. They're like $15.

Ah, 15 bucks in the good old US of A, heh. There are some online places here in Oz charging upwards of $150 - $200 for Win 7, Vista and Win 8.1. That's for a link to download the Windows edition from Microsoft itself, and the product key sent via email.
Funnily enough, I recently purchased a Win 10 Pro product key online for $99.00... a good $100 or more less than these older Windows versions. It seems so stupid that sellers are charging such high prices for older versions when nobody really wants them anymore and the trend is towards Win 10. I mean, if they really want them to sell, make the price attractive enough to the budget conscious and bargain hunter alike.

Hello,
You can find a lot of places on line that offer 7 .
Probably a safe place to check and order on line
would be like the Big Box Stores Walmart , Best Buy etc.
would be New OEM copies .
Some on line offer some cheap deals but I would beware ..
