    How to return to OEM license?


    Hi,


    I bought a windows 10 pro license key from ebay, my computer already had windows 10 home installed from when i purchased my computer so it had a oem license. I entered the product key for Windows 10 pro which has now locked my computer into S mode unless I purchase windows 10 pro from the Microsoft store. Is there anyway to return to my OEM Windows 10 home license?

    I already have tried re installing windows but I got an error...
    If I reset my pc would that return to my old OEM license?
    If I do reset do I do local install or cloud install?

    :)

  2. Windows 10 OEM Licensing

    Hi

    I have a few questions about windows 10 OEM licensing:

    1. Is OEM licensing acceptable for business use?
    2. What restrictions does OEM licensing have other than the transfer rights?
    3. Can the OS be reloaded without breaching the license agreement, and if so, can I also replace the HDD with an SSD?
    4. What other hardware upgrades can be done under OEM licensing?
    5. What would be a breach of OEM licensing?
    6. What benefits would a business get if they move to Microsoft 365 vs OEM?
    Thanks in advace

  3. Oem and retail license

    Hi,

    You may look at envelope and its content. Boxes have USB inside. OEM - DVD.

    If you are suggested to buy OEM with electronic delivery, this highly likely is spoofing.

    There are to classes OEM - DOEM (Direct OEM) and ordinary OEM.

    The first is a large bunch of licenses Microsoft sells to large computer producers - HP, ASUS and so on. Such licenses will no distributed separately, only with computers.

    An ordinary OEM is a cardboard package with installer's license sticked on it. Can you imagine a way to download it? I can't.

    OEM Licensing

    Hi there,

    We are system builders, deploying lots of devices that are running Windows 10.

    Currently, we must obtain OEM licensing from a reseller, and require being sent a USB for each licence we require.

    We would like access to the facility to:

    • Purchase Windows licenses for resale in bulk at a discount
    • Deploy with OEM tools
    • Access the licences easily, without having to purchase through another reseller or require USB drives being sent out to us

    I have spent a very long time searching through the Microsoft Partners website, as well as reading through forum posts.

    I've come across 1 useful post reply from a Microsoft rep that links to all the requirements and certifications of becoming a licence reseller, however the post reply was from 2007, and all the links are broken.

    Can anyone please advise:

    • Certification requirements of becoming authorised to resell Microsoft licenses
    • What method of managing license keys/purchasing is available to these resellers.
    Thanks.
