In this post I wanted to give away dozens of Windows license keys for free! No, this isn't illegal. These are perfectly legitimate keys and they are free to use. The catch is, these keys cannot be used to activate Windows. These keys can be used to install Windows, and once installed you'll get between 3 and 30 days of free use depending on the version of Windows (more if you "rearm" Windows).
All of these keys came from Microsoft directly. They give these keys away. The problem is, there is no master list you can easily download and reference. So I've taken the time to gather all these keys into one place for you to use.
There are two types of keys in this list; Generic Volume License Keys (GVLK) and Retail Installation Keys (RIK). The difference is GVLK keys must be used for "volume license" versions of Windows and RIK are used for regular versions of Windows. If you don't know which one to use, then you need retail (RIK). Chances are anyone using volume license versions of Windows knows it because you have to pay a lot more and have a special contract to have and use that version of Windows.
In order to use one of these keys you must exactly match the key below with the version of Windows you're trying to install. So from the list below, Windows 7 Professional N (Volume) will only work on the N edition of Windows 7 Professional volume license version. Architecture (x86 or x64) and language do not matter, these keys work on all architectures and languages.
