Next you give add to cart and make the purchase as in any other online store. Once you have bought it Microsoft will send you all the data by email. And if it takes time to arrive, you will also be able to access your newly acquired product key by entering your digital purchase history, where it will appear in the entry of the Windows 10 that you have purchased. Write it down, as you will need it to complete the process.
