Who the fuck pays full price for windows? Just buy an oem license for like $15.

There are other ways, if you have to use it but don't want to give Microsoft money. One way is just not to activate it. Almost everything still works. There are also ways to get cheap keys or activate it for free.

Operating system sold separately. Some assembly required.
