Posted February 18, 2016 I believe no tech support from MS except to transfer the key (you could not do this with OEM keys before) Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

Posted February 18, 2016 Retail: More expensive. You can contact and receive support directly from Microsoft at no charge (i.e. phone support for techincal problems). It is unknown how useful or helpful that support will be...but you can use it. If you change your motherboard or buy another computer you can reinstall your windows license on that machine so long as you confirm that it has been removed from the first machine. You are allowed to have your windows license installed on one machine total but you can reinstall to new machines in the future. OEM: Cheaper. No support from Microsoft. If your processor or motherboard is changed you will not be able to move your license to the new machine as it is locked to the machine it was originally installed to. (some users report they have gotten microsoft to allow them to move an OEM license after a "hardware failure". However, this is not guaranteed to be the case as it is in direct opposition to the license. Maybe you get lucky, maybe you don't and you have to buy a new key. 浪速の建てるは静か用に建てました！- Build Log Coming Soon!
