Windows 10 Activation w/ OEM Key?

[pc-qna]

Hey there,
I need to re-activate Windows after a hardware change and was wondering if I could purchase an OEM license and use the key it gives me to activate it? I'm aware that using an OEM key means there will be troubles upgrading in the future, however I don't plan on changes for quite some time. Bottom line: Could I buy an OEM Windows 10 and go into the store, activate it and have it work?

Thanks for your time and help!

oem is stuck onto your old motherboard. oem can only be used once. its gone sorry
pro retail can be used again after u deleted it on your hdd. oem is a one time
edit: thats why poem is used frequently in businesses and its 1/3 price of a pro retail version

I know I can't use my current OEM again, but if I were to re-purchase it then go in and activate it would it work?

If you purchase a new license, from a valid source, no reason why it would not work.
The Windows Store has nothing to do with this.
