    I repaired my laptop, when its finished, I checked that the windows is oem version. They didnt ask me to pay for the windows oem version that they installed. Is it legal for me to use the windows?

    Are OEM Windows legal?

    Hi,

    I am Sumit, an Independent Advisor and a 2-Year Windows Insider MVP here to help.

    Yes, OEMs are legal licenses. The only difference is they cannot be transferred to another computer.

    Does my oem windows legal for me to be used?

    How to legally use an OEM license.


    Hi there

    Not sure with W10 but in W7 days you could get an OEM copy of windows at hugely discounted rates legally if you bought some hardware such as a Mouse etc.

    Not sure if that loophole exists any more though. It would still only activate on a single computer and was non transferrable.

    Your best bet is to get a cheap LEGAL retail copy of W7 and then until 29 July go for the free W10 upgrade.

    Incidentally if you were a member of the Technet program and you have some W7 serials (most of those allowed at least 10 activations) then those serial numbers are valid for W10 upgrade. I've done a few myself.

    As far as OEM license itself (system builders) you'll have to speak to Ms as regard to costs. I'm sure as a system builder and reseller you must have some sort of system for "Testing" -- I can't see Ms encouraging stuff to go out of the door untested.

    Cheers
