    Is there a "retail" version of Windows 10 available for purchase?


    If you buy Windows 10 from Microsoft Store, it is the retail version if it is not specifically mentioned it is an OEM version. You can get it on USB if you need physical install media instead of an ISO. The original Microsoft Windows 10 USB install media contains both bit versions.



    At the moment Microsoft does not directly sell OEM or System Builder versions to consumers. You can buy OEM for instance from Newegg: Microsoft Windows 10 Pro 64-bit - Newegg.com ($139.99 + $2.99 shipping)

    Is this W11 Pro purchase version OEM or Retail?

    Upgrading from Windows 10 OEM to full retail. System does not recognize retail version.

    I had a machine with an OEM version of Win 10 PRO. I changed the MB and processor which deactivated the OEM Win 10 installation. I purchased Win 10 Full Retail FQC-08788, removed the original partitions from the SSD drive using DISKPART and installed the
    retail version. I linked to my existing MS Account and tried to activate the machine, only to be told I couldn't activate the OEM system and suggested I visit the MS store to acquire a valid license.

    WHAT GIVES!!! Was it because I linked to my on-line account? Is the old OEM information being held in the UEFI somehow? What do I have to do to get the new Retail version recognized?
