AFAIK if your Windows gets deactivated it's still gonna work with some things unavailable. And then you can just use a different key, maybe try sites like G2A or Kinguin, I think it's around $25 or so.

1$ well it's probably going to expire soon, most cd key sites sell it for around 20-40$

On how to geek they've explained how those keys are cheap:

"We once bought a Windows 7 key for about $15 from one of these websites. We stuck it in a virtual machine, and it worked for about a year. After that, Windows started saying we “may be a victim of software piracy.” Our Windows license was no longer “genuine.”

In other words, at some point in that year, the key we purchased was flagged as bad by Microsoft. It was probably purchased with a stolen credit card number, and it was eventually blacklisted on Microsoft’s servers. So it stopped working, and we’d have to buy a new key."
