    Moving OEM license key for SSD replacement

    1. OEM cannot be transferred means you cannot move it to a new computer, because the OEM license is tied to the hardware (eg: motherboard, CPU) of the first computer with Windows installed instead of hard drive. So, if you only want to

    transfer OEM Windows 10 to new hard drive
    or SSD, it's practical.

    2. The system image does not transfer your license key.

    3. You don't need to reactive your Windows if you install the same version as the current one.

    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
