You can always do an AI search to see if the Groupon offer is legit. I saw a very good OptiPlex deal, but it has Ubuntu installed by Dell. So I would have to buy a Windows 11 license.
For $10 I would give Groupon a shot.

AI answer:

If you're wondering about the legitimacy of purchasing a Windows key through Groupon, consider the following points:

  1. Third-Party Sellers: Groupon often features deals from third-party sellers, which can vary in reliability.
  2. Price Comparison: If the price seems significantly lower than the official Microsoft store, it may raise red flags.
  3. User Reviews: Check reviews and ratings of the specific Groupon deal to gauge customer experiences.
  4. Activation Issues: Some users report activation problems with keys purchased from discount sites.
  5. Refund Policy: Review Groupon's refund policy in case the key does not work as promised.
  6. Official Sources: For guaranteed legitimacy, consider purchasing directly from Microsoft or authorized retailers.
  7. Key Type: Ensure you understand whether the key is for a full version, upgrade, or OEM version.
  8. Support Availability: Check if the seller offers customer support for activation issues.
  9. Terms of Service: Read the terms of service for any restrictions on the use of the key.
  10. Risk Assessment: Weigh the potential savings against the risk of purchasing a possibly invalid key.
