DOes Win8.1 OEM have a "Personal Use License"?

nurindun · Oct 22, 2013

Heyo, I am trying to figure out if Win8.1 OEM has a "Personal Use License" install like Win8 did, or if I have to buy the "full version" for my new home built PC.
The Windows OEM website does not seem to shed much light on 8.1 and google seems to turn up conflicting answers > <

windows 8.1 is just a free upgrade and is covered under the same license as windows 8

I advise waiting before using win8.1...it breaks a lot of stuff. MS have outdone themselves on making 8.1 worse than 8.0

jldevoy :

I've been using 8.1 preview for like 3 weeks and haven't had any issues yet.

Is there anyone out there that has actually opened up a Win8.1 OEM hardcopy and installed it with the Personal Use License ?

If you buy 8 or 8.1 retail version it comes with a key card, that has the license key for personal use.
OEM version comes with personal license sticker on the inside of the package.
