Yes, the upgrade to Windows 10 inherited the type of licence (OEM etc) from the original Windows 7 licence.

 

Windows 10 Licensing

I had purchased a dell inspiron laptop 7520 in 2013 preinstalled with Windows 8 Single Language OEM.

After an year I upgraded to Windows 8.1 and Recently i had upgraded to windows 10 via media creator tool.

Before upgrading i was having an OEM version of windows 8.1 but after upgrading to windows 10 it got converted to Retail version. Just want to know that is it normal or the OEM version of windows becomes Non-OEM after upgrading of Windows?

 

Well now I can rest a little easier knowing that my Notebook is officially supported however there is only updates to the ATK Package and ASUS Splendid and some drivers and software can only be found on the original recovery partition thus making a clean install impossible.

 

Great Post and Info.

Funny though, my HP Desktop is 20 months old, when purchased from HP Store (12/13) it was pre-loaded with W8.0. Marketing material from HP highlighted the option to upgrade to W 8.1. 3 days after purchase when upgrading to 8.1 a message popped up on screen saying my PC had not been tested for W8.1. Fortunately the upgrade to went smoothly, a few glitches but nothing serious and as you might expect, HP tells me this same PC has not been tested with W10. I don't think you can rely 100% on anything any of these companies say.
I did upgrade my 6 month old HP notebook from 8.1 to 10 and except for 40-60 errors with every restart it runs OK but I sure wouldn't rely on it for my one and only PC, not yet anyway.

 

I've done a clean install on my ASUS K75DE laptop. Everything works as it should. ATK, Smart Gesture, and CCC all installed via Windows update. Asus doesn't list any Windows 10 downloads for my model. Nada.
