$100-180 isn't "cheap?" ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???

I mean you can do what Rufus says, but more than likely MS will pull those keys depending on how they were obtained. You could pirate, but I wouldn't recommend it. If you have a spare Windows 7/8 install around somewhere you can use that key to upgrade to Windows 10. But IIRC that key then becomes a Windows 10 key so the 7/8 install might no longer be valid.

Apparently those are mostly student licences and such. Supposedly.

Find a friend with a sibling in university. Most universities give free windows keys with multiple activations to students. That's how I got Win 10 for free.

I also got my key from my university and since then I've been able to upgrade to Windows 8 and 10 for free. You can probably sign up for a computer science program in Copenhagen. Isn't it free?

If you have a decent job you could just pay for the license, like other adults.
