Windows 10: Retail oem products

So impressed i was with the price and reviews for an ASUS vivobook notebook laptop i bought one for my son going into 6th form at school and i went back to ARGOS in Sainsburys and bought another one for myself .

Problems arose when files started to disappear and then whole drives started to disappear .

When i used Periforms Recuva software to try and find a particular drive made on a micro sd card of a whole weeks recordings of music me being a musician with home studio equipment i got more information back than i bargained for but not the files or drives that disappeared.

What i got in a deep scan was astonishing being i bought the computer at Christmas 2020 i recovered files and folders encrypted prior to the sale to me going back to approximately the nineties and most of them were modification files and installs . Where i could not see the contents being they were encrypted i could however physically see the code encrypted and modification dates of the last activity on the ssd hard drive.


Just to recap that information what i am saying is my computer purchase in December 2020 because windows 10 is said to run more securely on a new computer was actually at the hand and in use of some employee in the nineties who has modified and updated its workings with hotfixes to run a system purchased as new in the year 2020 and first of all i said there must be some explanation for this ...then i said i bet old hardware gets updated for resale quite a lot .Then after the long string of problems including blue screens and start up times and in the end a refusal to start at all i have come to the conclusion that consumer laws must have been broken in the sale of such a computer to me and i write here after looking into the activation of my windows 7 machine and using some type of developer version of windows 10 where it is written that windows 10 should be run on a new computer .Does the consuming population agree that either MICROSOFT or ARGOS has come way short of the mark in standards in the sale of that product to me or am i overreacting to be surprised files modified in 1990 has been found by recovering software by the consumer after buying from a store in 2020 AND HAS HAD MORE SOFTWARE ISSUES THAN HIS OLD DELL LAPTOP RUNNING WINDOWS 7.I'm talking maybe 30 40 hotfixes and countless encrypted files and folders.

I haven't taken the laptop back because that is my evidence and i might just use the power of the people to vote with their feet when exposure of my facts reach the masses en mass and just to note this is my first flap of my very very small wings fine as they are just like a bee's wing.

oem to retail

Hi FrankUnger1

Where did you purchase that OEM copy of WIndows 10, you will have to check with the seller to see if they can provide you with a deal on purchasing a Retail Licence.

Microsoft do not provide a way of going from OEM to Retail as they do not sell OEM licences to the general public . ..
