Remove OEM license and replace by Retail license

I want to remove OEM license and replace by retail license. The reason is I'm a vendor who sells `Computer Desktop` and `Laptop` to customer. Those Computer Desktops and Laptops have OEM license but my customer just want retail license only for financial reason. So I need to remove OEM license then replace new retail license to Those devices. I tried to change license in menu "Change Product Key" but after changed I tried to check license by using "ShowKeyPlus" app in Microsoft store. it still show me OEM license and have no Retail license which I've just entered it.

How can I remove OEM license and replace by Retail license in Windows 11?

 

Replacing Windows 10 retail license with OEM to reuse the retail license on new build

I built a Windows 10 PC several years ago and purchased a retail license. Now that PC cannot be updated to Windows 11. Can I purchase a Windows 10 OEM license and remove the retail license from this PC and install the OEM license without doing a complete reinstall? I would like to continue using this PC until Windows 10 goes EOL, and an OEM license seems perfect for this use since the PC cannot be updated to Windows 11. I would then like to build a new Windows 11 PC and reuse the Windows 10 retail license I would remove from my Windows 10 PC which can’t be upgraded.

 

Replacing Windows 10 retail license with OEM to reuse the retail license on new build

Hello, I'm Greg, here to help you with this.

If you want to buy an OEM license to use on the PC you can do so, but unless I am not understanding this fully, there doesn't appear to be any reason to do this.

If it was able to, the PC be upgraded whether it has an OEM or retail license. An OEM just can't move from the first motherboard installed upon, while a retail license can move anywhere.

Why not keep the full retail license on the PC until you build the new one and then move it?

If I'm missing something just let me know so I can help you better.
