    Windows 10 retail ?


    Hello... I'm curious to know what is listed under activation for this version ( windows 10 retail ) not OEM or upgraded to 10 but rather a fresh clean install with a windows 10 retail iso file or usb . Also, is it true those usb stick which Microsoft is selling windows 10 is only the original version ? They don't come out with newer version once its available ? Thanks

    :)

  2. Which is the best to purchase Windows 10 PRO OEM or FULL RETAIL PACK?

    That only applies to retail Windows 10 licenses

    or

    Windows 10 licenses upgraded from retail Windows 7 or Windows 8.

    There is no such thing as a "retail" ISO or USB. The ISO image includes everything and you enter your key (or don't) when you install it.

    If you buy Windows on USB they obviously do not send you a new USB every time there is an upgrade until the end of time - that would be absurd.

    If you go to the MS site then you can get the latest version. It is here: Download Windows 10

    It wil say retail if you run slmgr /dlv and have a genuine retail standalone licence.

    It is not true usb stick is original build but it could still be out of date if old stock.

    Just download latest version using media creation tool.

    Yes there is an retail windows 10, maybe where you're living there isn't but if one goes into a Microsoft store or where ever they sell retail version you'll notice this . Windows 10 is sold in 3 ways Retail or OEM & Upgrade and each have a different price, retail is the most expensive of the 3

    How are you so sure with the newer builds? Reason why I'm asking I happen to be in a Microsoft store and spoke with their top guy lol and I asked him about the usb stick version. The dude said Microsoft has never updated their usb flash stick to newer versions

    Yep must download from MCT and let it overwrite your USB it will have the latest version, no problems your product key will determine what version is installed retail, Oem, upgrade, Pro, etc is all determined by your product key embedded in your MB or typed in by your for a clean install on a new machine.

    After looking into it more you're right . The manager at the store lied with his BS, they do sell the latest

    The MS guy is basically talking rubbish or you have misinterpreted what he is saying.

    It may be true the drive may not get updated to latest build due to being old stock but that does not mean all usb drives are using original version.

    Also what is true is even if you get latest build on iso or download from MS, it will install 16299.15 and then autoupdate to (currently) 16299.125.

  14. Hi,
    Even if the version wasn't the latest version it soon will be after the install
    You might get them to define what retail means

    Retail used to mean that one could use the same activation key on another mother board if the original dies and or one had to buy a new machine that died *Smile

    Yeah, I'm thinking he wanted to get rid of old stock . I spoke with another store and they say they've version 1703 Redstone 2 15063 which I believe is the second latest
