    Activate Windows 10 Pro OEM with retiring Windows 10 Pro Retail product key


    My PC is running a valid install of Windows 10 Pro retail but the system HDD is failing.I have acquired a SSD with Windows 10 Pro OEM installed. I would like to retire the HDD containing the retail licence and substitute it with the SSD containing the OEM licence. I do not wish to reinstall the retail version on the SSD as that would delete all the apps thereon. Can I activate the OEM version with the retired retail version's product key? The oem version was not originally installed on this pc and hence the motherboard is not the same as per the original oem install.It does not matter th

    Should I buy Windows 10 Home or Pro?

    I bought a win 10 pro oem key for £25, changed my motherboard and cpu, and reinstalled windows, and it activated automatically. So I would say why not buy pro?

    From here-
    https://softwaregeeks.co.uk/product/windows-10-pro/

    Was near enough instant delivery of key by email, and it activated on my original install, and on a clean install with changed hardware. Can't say fairer than that for £25
