I bought a custom made pc installed with Windows 10 pro but it turn out to have volume licensing. Is it possible to change it to retail?

If possible, how do I go about it and what do I have to purchase?

 

Windows 10 Pro Retail or OEM or Volume License

Hi Raju,

This is an interesting topic. If the last three letters of your Product ID ends with
OEM, then your license was issued by manufacturer. These type of licenses cannot be transferred to another computer because it is tied up with the device itself. Otherwise, if it doesn't end with OEM, your copy of Windows is from a retail merchant.
These licenses can be transferred to another computer. Unless your device was issued by your company, or from an organization, then it could have been activated under Volume licensing.

To be sure, check the type of license you that you have by following these steps:

• Open Command Prompt (Admin).
• Type slmgr -dli and press Enter.
• It will show you a pop up box telling you what type of license you are using.

Let us know if you need further assistance.

 

Bought a new laptop. Is it supposed to have a Retail License or Generic Volume License Key?

I bought a new laptop an year ago. Now I get the err that my windows license will expire soon. I've checked out some suggestions based on this and apparently I have
Generic Volume License Key. I want to know, whether I'm supposed to have a
Retail License if I bought a new laptop? or is it okay to have
Generic Volume License Key.

Please help me.
