RE: Windows 10 - free?
@marcopolomle said in Windows 10 - free?:
Doesn’t Windows 10 store the key in ROM?
ROM stands for read-only memory. It’s used to store the start-up instructions for a computer, also known as the firmware. Most modern computers use flash-based ROM. It is part of the BIOS chip, which is located on the motherboard.
New computers use UEFI firmware instead of the traditional BIOS. Both are low-level software that starts when you boot your PC before booting your operating system, but UEFI is a more modern solution, supporting larger hard drives, faster boot times, more security features, and—conveniently—graphics and mouse cursors.
Newer PCs that ship with UEFI still refer to it as the “BIOS” to avoid confusing people who are used to a traditional PC BIOS. Even if your PC uses the term “BIOS”, modern PCs you buy today almost certainly ship with UEFI firmware instead of a BIOS.
The BIOS (or UEFI) firmware looks for valid boot information from the OS, so that malicious software that doesn’t meet the handshake requirements doesn’t boot (protection from viruses and other malware). This check does not store your windows key, just checks that the OS being loaded passes all of the checks (handshakes) to verify it is safe to load and not altered.

RE: Windows 10 - free?
A recent clean install for me worked when I entered my email address. Guess it grabbed my key from last install based on me creating a MS account during last install.

RE: Auto bot deal updates?
@fivetalents I agree. Hijacking another site, might as well just go to that other site. What I think we are trying to do here is migrate the FW forums to a viable alternative site, with room to improve…

Free month of Amazon Prime if order delivered late (current Prime members only)
Still relevant after my initial post at FW, great to use during holiday orders…
Came across this when one of my deliveries was late, can be used up to 12 times in a one year period. Contact customer support, let them know that the delivery is late, and asked for a free month. Thanks to Dealnews.com for the wording to use in the request. I have used this several times for free months, works best during long weekends, weekends in general with Sunday delivery guarantee, and holiday peek shipping times.
“Hello! My order, #XXX-XXXXXXX-XXXXXXX, was scheduled for delivery on the 18th, however, it has not arrived. I saw that Amazon will extend a Prime membership by a month if a package misses its delivery date. Am I eligible for that extension for this order not arriving on time?”
After logging in, go to the link above, then select the item that was late. At the bottom of the page is a drop down menu, select where’s my stuff, then follow the prompts from there. There will be a place for you to type your message. Heard back from all of my requests by next day, with 100% approval.
