Why in the fuck is windows 10 two different prices at best buy in Canada? I am talking about the exact same version NOT "pro" NOT "OEM" license I know what both of those are, I am talking about the "normal windows 10 home" one cost $150 the other is $190??? Am I missing something? The only thing that is different is on the higher priced one it says 64bit and the other doesn't say what version it is at all, if you read in the description its say how much ram you need to run the 64bit or 32bit implying it is both and that's the cheaper one. On top of this they have the 32bit on there as well and that one is $170 so i am totally confused by it.

If you cannot execute the above, you do not deserve free Windows.

BTW, this method is completely malware free (assuming you audited vlmcsd), guaranteed, because the ISO hashes are known widely and you're not using any foreign code you can't inspect (outside Microsoft's untouched RTM code).

Get plebeian crippled Windows for cripples, or get Enterprise Windows with the vlmcsd masterrace method above. Your choice.

As simple of an explanation as I can muster

The OEM version is a 1 time use. Once you register the key, that key is perma-locked to your motherboard, which means you can reflash Windows on the same system infinite times, but cannot use the key for a new motherboard, even if you take an 'OEM version' installed on an internal drive and plug it into a new mobo, it'll consider your Windows unregistered, and the key won't work. You should chose this if you don't plan on changing the mobo for a decent amount of time, or have a 'glued down system'

The 'non-OEM' version, can be shifted to a new system entirely and it'll take your key as valid, and you can shift it infinitely, except only one system can be activated at once. This means, if you rebuild a whole new setup, you can install Windows on that, as long as you uninstall it on the old one ( I think it prioritizes the newest register, so your older system will get auto deactivated)

>>61298140
Read reviews, its possible that one is just a reseller, or even that one is an 'unofficially distributed' version.
>>
The middle ground between "free" solutions (KMS or accessibility upgrade with 7/8 key) is to get a 10 Pro OEM key from PlayAsia for $20. Site seemed a bit sketchy but I received the key instantly after paying. Didn't feel like dicking around on my recent desktop build and sure as fuck wasn't going to pay full retail.

More bits costs more to manufacture. You're getting 2x the bits, of course it's more. You don't whine that large cokes are more money than a small come, so why should you OS be any different

Both will spy on you equally.
Just get Windows 7 or better yet, Linux Mint.
>>
>>61300772
>Windows 7
spies on you just like win10 does
>Linux Mint
utter outdated garbage. Mint is literally the worst trash available
Atleast get Debian, Ubuntu or any other good, easy-to-use distro

Windows is malware and you shouldn't use it.

in the EU the OEM version is no different than retail so only a retard here would buy retail. In fact, you can even sell your pre-installed OEM disc here.
