This is really a system builder version of Windows 10; you basically will want only to keep your data files and blow out the apps. If can't do one without the other, just back-up your data/doc files and reload on new install. Best to load from DVD at system start-up on a scrubbed machine, but not necessary to scrub it. Expect to use a ton of broadband in downloading updates with Windows 10; I blew thru 50 GB on two machines in two months. Best to download April 2018 version of 1803 as an ISO file using Media Creation Tool from Microsoft site, and then load on all your machines with specific product keys. If you have a flashing screen during install process, it maybe IDT High Definition Audio driver that seems to even give cloning software a hard time. Had problem with product key, but since I had install glitches, initially O/S said it was Valid, then final install and MS Support said no good. Seller came to the rescue in a flash. Great value, super price, and excellent customer support.Read full review

This is an OEM version. Visually, there is nothing in the ad that states that. I chose this INSTEAD of other OEM versions I decided not to purchase. Yes, if you pan over the picture you can read the DVD cover to see the OEM restrictions, and you should read the cover. There are installation restrictions. It cannot be used to upgrade an existing partition, might require OEM tools etc. I tried to install in 3 different ways and it failed on each occasion. I have not yet had time to install and re-install over and over to work around them to get a working install. Instead I installed from a version freely available over the Internet from Microsoft. If you are not already familiar with installing OEM versions beware! The "Service" email address was a sales email not an IT email. IT did respond, with poor grammar in a way that was hard to decipher.Read full review

Product worked well loading onto a blank SSD drive, however, it struggled in the beginning after many attempts to load it, but I am sure it was my desktop and not the disk. All worked well after it began loading. Only other issue I have is that it does not recognize my printer which I tried setting up and loading the drivers, so I may need to get help doing that. Overall though, it worked OK.

This product is an original installer version of Windows 10, never opened. It came with the proper certificate. It is designed to be installed on a newly built or rebuilt machine which does not already have an operating system. To use properly you must use a fresh new hard drive, or a freshly erased hard drive. It is not designed to upgrade. So beware the limitation. I love it.

Disc works great but should have known price does NOT include Microsoft License fee needed to actually install. Had to buy License from Microsoft, which included a download of product, so I could have saved my $ on this product.. Live and learn.

I purchased this operating system a while back but couldn't proceed until I changed out the motherboard. Once I was ready for installation it was quick and easy. The only issue I had was that the product key is behind a scratch off type of tape that could easily ruin the product key when removing. I had to use a magnifying glass to make out the product key. I had to enter it 3 times because it was hard to tell if one digit was a 6 and G or C. But at the end of the day, all is well and I am very happy with the product.

Easy to install. Saved all my programs and files. Runs much better and faster than Windows 7. Only disappointment is that it no longer support Windows Media Center. Used to watch TV on my PC which I at one time paid extra for a tuner card.

Windows 10 is a good product once you get it setup. I had to reload mine 5 different times to get it to work right. The first couple of times it ran slow and keep freezing up. After the 5th install I finally got it running correct. Still some of the programs had to be run under administrator until I went into properties and made all to run programs, then the programs worked correctly.

Product set up easier than I thought it would be. It does take a rather long time to load and finish all it needs to do. I just did what I needed to do, and left it to do its thing. Worked out great!
