Can I use OEM key on a MSDN copy if not how can I backup OEM license or where can I download OEM copy.
All MSDN Win 10 Multiple Editions iso's are OEMRET, they can use the oemm bioskey (when onboard, 10586 and up), retail keys and oem systembuilder keys.
and is that possible use OEM home key on MSDN retail professional copy too?, and can I use home OEM key on office 2016?.
On win 10 the key decides which version it will be, so no home keys can be used on pro. You still can install 7SP1 Ultimate (daz) or 8.1 Pro (kms) and activate them and upgrade to 10 Pro to establish a legit HWID for 10 pro.
My real issue here is, I have a laptop which have genuine OEM. now I have to reinstall the OS but I don't have OEM cd but I have a w10 copy downloaded from MCT so what are the possibilities to keep OEM license and do a clean install, how may I take the key from it. when I use the Speccy software which shows a different key than the Nirsoft's ProduKey software, which software shows the right key? any-other way to recover OEM license?
The OEM Querytool will give a result like this: Code: OEM Query Tool v14 Build 7 Advanced 16:02 di 10-01-2017 OEM Information For This Computer --------------------------------- OS Name: Windows 10 Home [x86] OS Edition/SKU: Core OS Language: 1043 [413h] Processor: Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU Z3740 @ 1.33GHz Processor Cores: [4] Logical Processors: [4] Processor Architecture: [32 bits] HDD Partition Type: [GPT-Secure Boot Enabled] Bios Version: [T100TA.314, 08/13/2015] Total Physical Memory: [1933 Mb] Available Memory : [1071 Mb] SCANNED ------- #1 CSProduct Name - T100TA #2 ComputerSystem Model - T100TA #3 Baseboard Product - T100TA #4 CSProduct Vendor - ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. #5 ComputerSystem MFR - ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. #6 Baseboard MFR - ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. #7 Serial/Service Tag - Not Shown On Saved Report. #8 BIOS ID - _ASUS_ #9 SLIC OA - Un-Listed #10 Installed PID Key - Key Not Shown On Saved Report.

Why inserting those keys after install? The Multiple Editions ISO's already use the win8.x/10 oemm bioskey by themselves (from 10586 and up).
Cool. Then the answer should have been: "Just install from your MSDN ISO & the correct edition & key will automatically be used"... I never run setup so was unaware...
When you have Home installed, changing the productkey to the generic one ending on 3V66T would have upgraded his home to pro, but no activation. He could use a genuine applicable 7 SP1 or 8.x key to activate the pro install but every time windows upgrades he would have needed to workaround the problem that the upgrade will result in a home edition.
But let's say he had a old Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 Retail key laying around, could he then go from Win 10 Home straight to Win 10 Pro
I can't test, have no legit applicable key, but i think the 3V66T key has to be used to upgrade first and then activate with the legit applicable 7SP1/8.x key.
