    Windows OS license OEM


    Hello Experts,I have a query of Windows 11 License part. I am working in a company where currently we purchase win11 paper license whenever a new desktop or laptop is purchased. We do not opt for OEM version.It is because we think if a system becomes faulty or is discarded then we cannot use that same oem license in another system and we have to again purchase a new license. While in paper license we can use the same license in new system.system with preinstalled windows cost less then system purchased with DOS os and win 11 paper license.So is OEM license transferrable to new system which we

  2. Windows 10 OEM Licensing

    Hi

    I have a few questions about windows 10 OEM licensing:

    1. Is OEM licensing acceptable for business use?
    2. What restrictions does OEM licensing have other than the transfer rights?
    3. Can the OS be reloaded without breaching the license agreement, and if so, can I also replace the HDD with an SSD?
    4. What other hardware upgrades can be done under OEM licensing?
    5. What would be a breach of OEM licensing?
    6. What benefits would a business get if they move to Microsoft 365 vs OEM?
    Thanks in advace

    Windows OS (Retail/OEM/Paper License) legal usage issues

    Hi
    I have an OEM version of Windows Vista Home Premium. It's installed on the system I'm currently using. When I bought it I got the DVD, an OEM sticker with the installation key and some links for me to agree with the system-builders' license before install/activation. That's all the relevant information you'll need.

    1. I want to install the OS using the same disc on another computer by purchasing a paper-license from Microsoft. Can I purchase a paper license for an OEM copy or is that possible only with the retail version (not answered on Microsoft's website) ?

    2. Is it legal for people like me who are not professional system-builders or equipment manufacturers to use an OEM copy in the first place?

    Windows OS OEM License

    if oem os is windows 10 home edition , if you activated the win 10 with microsoft account means , license key will linked as called digital license.

    after that, if you change hdd also, the license will be activated once you reinstall windows an logged with microsoft account
