Where to buy Windows 10 retail?

[MacOldenly]

I am unable to find the non OEM version of Windows 10. I have checked Microsoft's website (And their chat person said it's OEM), as well as Amazon, and even some stores I have walked into physically. Where can I buy a legal Windows 10 Retail version (Since I will be upgrading my computer within the next year or two).

If you don't mind using a Microsoft account to log into your computer, you can get an OEM version of Windows 10 and then legally transfer it to your new system in the next year or two, when you build it.

I'm looking for a retail Anniversary Update Windows 10 Pro.
I have an unactivated Windows 7 Ultimate that won't allow me to install Windows 10 because Windows 7 is unactivated, but it directs me to get a key with the purchase of Windows 10 in a retail store. Builds prior to November 2015 won't allow for upgrading unactivated Windows 7, but builds since then do; so I don't want to get hung up buying previous builds that are outdated for this purpose.
I'm trying to upgrade a couple old computers that may or may not be upgradeable, they are of the 2007-2008 Dell vintage.

Microsoft.com Windows 10 Pro - Download - $199.99 ea.

I can't say for certain this includes the Anniversary update, but I think it should.

I thought I should mention I chatted with Microsoft's live chat in the store to ask if the version they sold was OEM or retail. I was told the version they sold was OEM, and if I wanted the retail version, I would need to shop elsewhere.
I bought the retail version from newegg, and I've already completely replaced my computer, so it's a good thing I bought the retail version.

And again. You could have purchased the OEM version if you attached the license to a Microsoft account as opposed to actual hardware (see the source link in my first reply).

Thank you for stressing this. I missed it even though I read it again. I will discuss this with my friend who currently needs to buy Windows 10 (hence why I came back looking for the locations to buy again).
