    OEM Windows for my own personal build


    Hey there, I am just wondering if I can get some clarity regarding buying OEM Windows for use with a system I am building for my own use. The license seems to suggest I have to use the system builder tools to install it, and that it can only be sold to a customer. Is there any exception for bypassing the system builder tool requirements if I am both the builder and end user?

    :)

    OEM Windows for my own personal build

    Question On OEM Windows clean install......

    "Flavors" of Windows licenses

    Windows can be a little "odd" about license keys. There are at least 4 categories:
    • Retail
    • OEM
    • Volume (electronic download)
    • Corporate (no key needed)
    For guaranteed success, the license key and media should be in the same category. If you have retail media, you may not be able to install it using an OEM or Volume license key, even though the key is valid for that version of Windows. *Wtf :wtf: Apparently, this is part of Microsoft's anti-piracy scheme (i.e., all customers are guilty until proven innocent).
