Purchasing Windows 10
12 Answers
What's the best way to purchase Windows 10? I would like to load it onto both my main home pc and a standby pc.
Also, I'm a little puzzled, on ebay and some computer component websites I've seen it available on CD or usb for c.£25...when the normal price for the product seems to be around £90.

Most machines running XP are unlikely to be able to handle Windows 10 well (if at all). Their device drivers won't be compatible, their processors won't be fast enough and they'll have insufficient RAM.
As I've written before, for the 'proper' price of Windows 10, you can buy a refurbished Windows 7 machine (which will be as good as new, with a completely fresh installation of the operating system) and then, if you so wish, upgrade it for free to Windows 10 - or save yourself the trouble and spend £89 on the model that's already got Windows 10 installed:
