    my windows 10 oem didn't come with a product key

    Dude, go to Newegg right now and read the questions and answers tab on Windows 10 OEM. The OEM copies that are listed there DO in fact, come on an optical disc. The flash drive ONLY comes on Retail copies.

    Is Windows 10 on microsoft.com store retail or OEM?

    Microsoft Store UK, Windows 10 Full retail or OEM?

    The question is pretty much straight forward. I want to buy Windows 10, but I don't want OEM version, companies like Scan and Overclockers are only selling OEM, if I purchase directly from Microsoft Store UK am I purchasing a full retail version or is it
    OEM as well?

    Thanks, please don't post anything about upgrade.
