Hey everyone,
So the title really says it all, I am upgrading my Motherboard and CPU (from AMD to Intel) and have been looking around and it seems as though there are two different types of Windows you can have on your system. OEM and Retail. The thing is, I don't know which one I have. Apparently you can not move an OEM copy from computer to computer so I would need to re purchase windows 10 (Which I would rather not do).
How can I find out if I have an OEM or Retail version? I can't remember how I acquired my copy of Windows 10 and would like to know how to figure this out before I buy my new parts.
Also any tips for upgrading Motherboard/CPU without having to do a fresh install of Windows would be great!
Thanks in advance!
