Windows 10 Oem Vs Retail. If you are getting ready to replace your motherboard and CPU, you may be in for a rude awakening when it comes to your Windows License. You may already know that OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer.
OEM Windows vs Retail Windows: What Should I Choose? Should i get the OEM or Retail edition? I am having difficulty understanding why anyone would purchase the retail version of windows when the OEM version does not seem to be very different.

And let me put this into perspective for you.
An OEM license refers to the license that a manufacturer installs on new devices. According to Wikipedia, an OEM produces the hardware or software to be used in the end-product of some other company. If you do have one just phone Microsoft and they will sort it.
