not sure what the difference is but I got the OEM version cause it was $20 less
the difference is with an OEM, if your MOBO dies or what have you you basically have to call microsoft and get them to authorize you to add windows 10 to your "new" pc since you have to replace the MOBO. It's just no as easily transferable from one pc to the next. the one I'm getting you can have it on one pc at a time but if some shyt on mine dies and i have to cop new shyt I can just reinstall it no hassle.

thanks breh. I'm super hyped. Anyone know why the windows 10 home edition sold on amazon is OEM? Where is the normal ass version??? Is that called something different??


edit: figured it out.. they only sell the retail on USB, was trying to get it on disk. copped the usb one tho.
Breh, NO. Cancel that if possible. Do you really need a USB? You don't have one?

If you can download it and then throw it on a flash drive...just do that.

It's actually cheaper to buy it already on a usb than to download it... 109$ usb 119 $ download..lol
Breh, there are a ton of options. Trust me when I tell you this.

Although since you are building a beast PC it's literally a drop in the bucket, but there are SEVERAL sources to get Windows. I will just leave it at that.

Yeah, nah, I thought about that man but I'm just going to cop it legit. It really is a drop in the bucket at this point.

Really breh? That's too kind of you. I just went to see if I could cancel it but it's already shipped... so I'm just going to leave as is. That's super generous of you though dude, thanks for being a human being of that caliber. Do you have any case recommendations? Tbh I'm not huge into cases I just want to be able to play but I'm definitely all ears on some recommendations. Preferably something i can cop on Amazon
