Hello community!
I'm looking to sell my old gaming computer but I have a question regarding windows OEM vs Retail.
I believe oem is a one time install and tied to the computer system.i actually bought windows 8.1 (retail version) upgraded to windows 10 awhile back.
So my question is,if I take out my m.2 drive (operating system on it) and sell the computer without any windows,or hard drives would the new buyer be able to just install a drive and install whatever windows they choose without any problems?
I just want to be certain and not cause any problems for the new potential buyer is all.
I would sell the computer my plextor m6e 256gb m.2 but it seems more of a hassle to wipe the drive than anything since the plextool states it "can't" be in boot drive to actually perform this task.
Thank-you
