    Can one still buy OEM lincenses with hardware

    I am currently speccing my build without a Windows 10 license as I think I have some spare (developer whose employer has Win 10 licenses, and I'll use my build for work).

    But does anyone know if OEM versions are still available for purchase? I remember being able to buy, say, a W10 license with a HDD, for example.

    I think.

    Or am I going mad?!

    Not going mad, you used to get OEM versions sold by vendors as long as you bought certain items, drives, motherboards and possibly CPUs.

    You can still buy OEM versions, no idea if you still have to buy it with hardware or not, presumably thats down to the vendor.

    Cheers Bobf64. I ended up discovering a key I had from an old retired system I'd forgotten about (useful to have email search! ), but good to know these licenses still exist - they seemed a lot more obvious when I was doing previous builds.
