Here is a bit of a breakdown of differences to note.
One of the biggest issues. Retail OS has Microsoft support, while OEM has vendor support (EG. HP)

Both have their PROs and CONs

Biggest CON to me is that OEM is not actually supported by Microsoft. Person will have to contact the OEM vendor.


I prefer retail, or Volume license.
