Windows 10: Question about Windows 10 Home from the Microsoft Store

Hi, I am new to building PCs and I have a small quick question regarding buying Windows and future upgrades to my computer.


Looking at physical versions of Windows, I find that there is OEM versions and retail versions, and OEM versions are bound to the system/motherboard that they are initially installed on. Is the copy of Windows from the digital Microsoft one of these OEM versions?


So, if I buy the Windows 10 Home from the Microsoft store, am I still allowed to use that copy of Windows even after I upgrade components of my computer? Let's say I upgrade my GPU or my motherboard in a few years once it gets slower and new technology comes out- can I still use Windows or will I have to pay again for it?


Thank you for your help, and I can definitely expand on my question if more information is required. Thanks!

Windows 10 Tweaks

As you may already know, Windows 10 (as well as Windows 8) allow you to log in with a valid Microsoft account, instead of creating a local account that only works on your machine. However, you may prefer to keep a local account for privacy reasons. If you do, though, some Windows 10 features—like Cortana—may not work. Despite the default behavior, the Windows 10 Store is not one of them. You can still log in to your Microsoft account for just the Store without switching to a full Microsoft account. The process, however, is not terribly obvious. To do so, follow these steps:

• Launch the Store from your Start menu.
• Click the user icon next to the search box.
• Click “Sign-in” from the menu that appears.
• Choose “Microsoft account” and log in like normal.
• When the “Make it yours” box appears do not enter your password. Instead, click “Sign in to just this app instead.”

Microsoft Selects Dolby Audio for Windows 10

it would've been great if microsoft added HEVC decoders, LAV filters along with other codecs with Windows 10, and developing WMP to be better than VLC, KMPlayer and such sorts of media players.

Nevertheless, this is good step for microsoft, by far.
