There is no need to reuse your product key.

When we were reading we ran into the query “Can I reuse a Windows 10 product key on a new computer?”.
Some articles claimed I now have a new windows 10 computer. However this only has windows 10 home installed and the key for the old computer is the pro version.

Better yet, if you have an old Windows 7 or Windows 8 key, you can still install Windows 10 with that old key. Microsoft will give your PC a free “digital license” of Windows 10. Microsoft is being sneaky and continuing Windows 10’s free upgrade offer with this method.
Are cheap Windows 10 and Windows 7 keys from Microsoft legit?
The websites selling cheap Windows 10 and Windows 7 keys aren’t getting legitimate retail keys straight from Microsoft. Some of these keys just come from other countries where Windows licenses are cheaper. These are referred to as “gray market” keys.

So, taking all the above into consideration I can safely say that the keys for Windows 10 g2a has listed on their platform are all legit. They come from verified sellers with impeccable performance on the marketplace that have met strict criteria (I wrote more about key and seller verification here, here and here – Microsoft product keys are of course much more scrutinized).

Is G2A safe to use Windows keys?
I have had massive trouble with Windows Keys on G2A. They are not legit keys and are blocked by Microsoft. Both my friend and i had this problem and after 3 months we got our money back. So no, i would not say it is safe.
Another common inquiry is “Is it safe to sell Microsoft products on G2A?”.
Our answer is that we also check each seller thoroughly after they sell Microsoft products and if anybody is caught trying to get one past us, severe action will be taken. Users with no history on G2A will not be considered or allowed to try and sell Microsoft products. No gods or kings, only man. Legit keys don’t have risk.
