@GermanAf: That's for the OEM version, which is fine if you never want to reuse Windows 10 on another machine.

@DerrickObama: It's also far less than the retail version. Unless you switch PCs every two weeks there is no need to buy the full retail version.

@GermanAf: What about inside a virtual environment? If you buy an OEM license to use in virtualbox, will windows activation be able to detect any changes if the virtual machine specs stay the same, even if you're running it on a different physical machine?

@DerrickObama: If you copy the VM there shouldn't be any problems.
