Product description
OEM licence for 1 PC. Product key delivered by email within 24 hours.
Compatibility and support
Regular Microsoft support for Windows 10 Home ended on 14 October 2025. Windows 10 can still be used but no longer receives regular security updates. Extended Security Updates (ESU) require a separate enrolment; this licence does not include ESU entitlement.
Windows 10 Home as a digital perpetual licence (OEM) for 1 PC – the operating system for home use and everyday tasks. You receive a product key for online activation, plus a download link and instructions by email. Pay once and use for good: no subscription, no ongoing costs.
Who is Windows 10 Home for?
Windows 10 Home is designed for personal use: browsing, streaming, office work, managing photos and gaming. If you don't need business features such as BitLocker, Hyper-V or joining a domain, you get the complete everyday Windows experience here. Please bear in mind the end of support for Windows 10; for new devices, we recommend Windows 11.
