Apologies if this is a silly question and I have done a quick google - purchased my son a cheap gaming PC on trademe - it has windows 10 home that isn’t activated - what is the cheapest way to activate? Or what’s the best course of action?

Thanks in advance

On a different note, I would blow the installation. I trust no one and no reason to believe it couldn't be loaded with keyloggers and other malware.
