Obtaining a genuine Windows 10 product key through official channels typically isn't possible unless you qualify for specific programs or promotions. However, here are some legitimate options:

- If you're a developer, joining the Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) or Visual Studio subscriptions may offer free Windows keys for development purposes. These are typically for testing and development only.
