Reddit mentions of Microsoft Windows 10 Pro DVD-ROM

Chances are you bought OEM licenses. Those are much cheaper because they are not meant to be transferred to another computer. With an OEM license you're likely to need to buy Windows 10 again in the future when that computer gets replaced.

Retail licenses costs more. The major benefit to retail licenses is they can be transferred to another computer. When the computer gets replaced its license can move over to the new computer. In the long run it can be cheaper.

edit:
OEM Windows 10 Pro on Amazon: $120
Retail Windows 10 Pro on Amazon: $190

Retail License does not come with a machine. That's OEM. This is a disc / USB you buy at a store, like this:

So I will be receiving all the parts for my build by the end of today, EXCEPT for my Windows 10, which will arrive on the weekend. Is there a way for me to start installing and updating Windows before it gets here?

The Win 10 I bought is this one:

My new OS will be installed on a new Samsung 950 Pro M.2 SSD drive and neither of the two drives I want to move from my old PC to the new one have my old OS on them. My old OS is on an SSD in the old computer and the two I want to move are both HDDs.

Here is the Windows 10 I bought: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01019TDJ8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I honestly don't remember if my Windows 7 was or not. I bought it at a Microcenter when building my first PC about 4 years ago. I just remember it was the Pro version as well.

I grabbed windows 10 pro USB yesterday on amazon.ca for $124. Primed it. Now it's $125 from a different seller, but thought someone might like a heads up. Didn't want to make a separate post because it's not "hardware". Better than that vuugo DVD of windows 10 home with their shipping prices.

If you need to purchase a new Windows licence, the easiest thing to do would be to just buy a Windows 10 USB drive. These are sold by Microsoft.

Barring that, you could simply download the Windows USB/DVD download tool and follow the prompts.

If you've got a PC of some sort right now, and a USB drive that's minimum of 8GB, you can make your own bootable USB and use any Windows key, no matter if it comes with a disk or a USB drive.

What country are you in? I'm not sure about other regions, but the Windows 10 Pro USB goes on sale every now and then for about $120 on Amazon Canada (it's normally $250, currently $146). That's less than the price of the standard edition. Just make sure it's either sold or fulfilled by Amazon

So from what I am reading you have a 32 bit version of windows 10/8 so if you want to play the game you may need to get a 64 bit version of windows 10/8 https://www.amazon.ca/Microsoft-Windows-Pro-Flash-Drive/dp/B01019TDJ8/ref=sr_1_3?crid=90K1XV4DHM8&keywords=windows+10&qid=1549716793&s=gateway&sprefix=Windows%2Caps%2C178&sr=8-3 windows 10 pro is on sale right know for cheaper than the standard edition of windows also you may want to check the minimum specs list on steam and make sure you are above those I’ll give you a link here https://store.steampowered.com/app/264710/Subnautica/

Well, if you are looking to purchase a retail copy of Windows 10 then you can shop around various internet sites for deals.

Newegg - Home

Newegg - Pro

Amazon - Home

Amazon - Pro

If you have a valid Windows 7 or 8 key which you won't be using any more you can use that to get a free upgrade to Windows 10 if you can manage to get it installed on your hardware before July 29th. Just skip the step during installation which asks for your key, and enter the old key during activation after the install. You can use the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool to do the install - it needs either a USB thumbdrive or DVD.

( https://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Windows-Pro-Flash-Drive/dp/B01019TDJ8 ) Is this the Windows 10 Pro Edition Retail license or OEM? I'm looking for the retail license.

So what do you think of this deal? https://www.amazon.ca/Microsoft-Windows-Pro-Flash-Drive/dp/B01019TDJ8/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1511499653&sr=8-4&keywords=windows+usb

This one looks like sold by 3rd party which seems risky

I just found this on Amazon:

https://www.amazon.ca/Microsoft-Windows-Pro-Flash-Drive/dp/B01019TDJ8/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=windows+10+pro&qid=1565891545&s=gateway&sr=8-3

This must be legit, right?

https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01019TDJ8/?tag=pcp0f-20

Would I have to keep the USB in?

To add to this: If you're looking to install Windows you can buy a Windows 10 installation USB off Amazon. Just plug the USB drive in before you turn on the PC and follow the installation prompts once it's powered on.
