Buying a genuine copy of Windows or Office directly from Microsoft is the best way to support developers and the people working behind the scenes on the platform, but at the same time, it can be pretty expensive.

Now, some of you might be wondering how come the prices of these OEM licenses are so low compared to the ones that you might buy from Microsoft directly? Some of you might even be a bit worried that this might not be the real deal, but you can rest assured that it is.
This is because when it comes to licenses, there are retail licenses that are typically sold directly to consumers. Those are the ones that are more expensive, but then there are also licenses sold directly to computer manufacturers, also known as OEMs.
Since it would not be realistic to ask computer manufacturers like Dell, Acer, or Lenovo to pay full retail price for every computer they build, they are usually sold much, much cheaper.
The downside to an OEM license is that it’s usually associated with your motherboard once you’ve installed it, meaning that moving it to a new PC build would be difficult or impossible. This is versus retail licenses that are very easy to move from one PC to another, but then again, at these OEM prices, you could buy 2-3 copies and it would still be cheaper.
