Windows 10 Clean Install

[jmdriskell]

I'm thinking about wiping two Win 8.1 machines and installing Win 10. What's the difference between a OEM version of Win 10 and a fully licensed version. Any advantages going to Win 10 Pro over the Home edition?

Thanks in advance,

The only main difference between oem and retail now is how many times you can move it after the 2nd machine. What I mean is, both can only be installed on 1 PC at a time, but both allow you to move the license to at least 1 other PC - we are not sure about any further PC. OEM may say no, but retail should let you move it again.

As for Pro/Home. Not really, added features but most home users don't need them.

Thanks for your reply. I think I'll go with the OEM Home versions since I don't think I'll need to move the OS.
