OEM = original equiptment manufactuer.
Operating systems come in 2 types.
OEM and Consumer.
OEM= no support from microsoft, in context to this issue
Consumer = support from microsoft, they will send you disc if
your disc crack ect.
Oem = no support from microsoft, you lose disc, they say "too
bad"
OEM= cheaper. Cause no fancy packages, just cd and key.
Consumer = ex. Cause with fancy box + support.
OEM discs are 99% the same as the consumer ones except for one
string of code that differentciates it from consumer ones.
Why? Due to the reasons above.
Computer brands like Acer for Ts's case, uses oem os.
Support would be from that manufactuer.
Microsoft sells these giants oem discs and "os cd coder"
and they just use this to give tons and tons of pcs an activation
code.
Labels are then printed and pasted at the sides of computers and
bottom of laptops.
These are labelled as OEM operating systems.
So only oem discs can be used with these
codes. Reasons above.
And if you go simlim/ funan, you might always wonder, why 2 os
of the same kind have different prices.
That's your reason.
Oem and consumer type
