Windows 10 Home OEM

Yes. Trading used OEM licences is legally permitted in Germany. The BGH ruling (I ZR 244/97) and the CJEU UsedSoft ruling (C-128/11) confirm the legality of reselling exhausted software licences within the EU.

The OEM licence is traditionally tied to the motherboard and cheaper than the Retail version. The Retail version (FPP) allows transfer to another PC. Both include the same feature set of Windows 10 Home.

Yes. The Windows 10 Home OEM product key is valid for both architectures – 32-bit as well as 64-bit.

Microsoft ended regular support on 14 October 2025. However, private users in the EU receive free Extended Security Updates (ESU) until October 2026, provided a Microsoft account is used.

You'll receive your product key by e-mail within a few minutes of payment being received – usually in under 60 seconds.

OEM licences are traditionally tied to the motherboard. If you change hardware (motherboard), reactivation is generally not possible. For maximum flexibility we recommend the Retail version.

You'll receive by e-mail: the original Windows 10 Home OEM product key (25 characters), a download link to the official Microsoft ISO file (32-bit & 64-bit), a German step-by-step installation guide, and a proper invoice with 19% VAT.

After installation, open Settings → Update & Security → Activation and enter the 25-character product key there. Online activation usually takes under 60 seconds. Free phone activation is also possible if needed.

Windows 10 Home runs on any PC with at least a 1 GHz processor, 1 GB RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit), and 16–20 GB of free storage. Older hardware from around 2009 onward is generally supported as well.

Yes, provided your PC meets the Windows 11 system requirements (in particular TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot). The upgrade is free for users with an activated Windows 10. Older hardware without TPM 2.0 is not suitable for Windows 11 – in that case, Windows 10 remains the best choice.

Yes. You always receive a proper invoice with 19% VAT shown – tax-deductible for freelancers and businesses.

In the rare case of an activation issue, our German-speaking support is available to you immediately. We'll send you a replacement key within 24 hours – free of charge and without any hassle.

We accept: Klarna, credit card (Visa/Mastercard/Amex), SEPA bank transfer, giropay, Apple Pay and Google Pay. All payments are processed with SSL encryption.

Windows 10 Home is ideal for private users. Windows 10 Pro offers additional business features: BitLocker drive encryption, Remote Desktop host (incoming connections), domain join, and Hyper-V virtualisation. For purely home use, Home is entirely sufficient.

Instantly. Right after your payment is confirmed, your product key is automatically generated and delivered by email within 30–60 seconds – including the download link and a step-by-step guide.

Yes, 100%. We sell exclusively original, unused Microsoft keys under the EU principle of exhaustion (CJEU ruling C-128/11) – legally resalable and certified for permanent use.

You get a free replacement key – as many times as needed until activation succeeds. Our German-speaking support helps via email, WhatsApp or live chat – usually within 10 minutes.

No. It is a perpetual license with no subscription, no recurring fees and no time limit. Buy once, use forever.

Yes. A PDF invoice with separately listed VAT (19%) is automatically sent with your license key – fully deductible and GoBD-compliant.

Within 100 days of purchase we refund the full purchase price on request, no questions asked. This also applies if the key has already been activated. Your statutory right of withdrawal of 14 days from conclusion of the contract (§ 355 BGB) applies in addition and remains unaffected.
