Windows OEM License

Learn what a Windows OEM license is and how it works.

A Windows OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) license is designed to activate Windows on a single computer. After activation, the license becomes permanently linked to that device's motherboard and is intended for use only on that PC.

OEM licenses provide the same Windows features, security updates, and performance as other genuine licenses. They are an affordable choice for personal computers, office systems, and newly built PCs.

Before purchasing, make sure you select the correct edition (Windows 10/11 Home or Pro) that matches your installed Windows version.
