Essentially, the main distinction lies in the lack of backing from Microsoft, though would anyone on these platforms require contacting them for assistance?

Make sure you won’t need to swap the motherboard anytime soon.

No, you cannot modify the motherboard with just the retail version of Windows 8.1.

The OEM model is allocated to your motherboard, not the retail version.

Windows 9 is expected to release next year. I wouldn’t likely replace my motherboard, but I’d consider upgrading once it’s available. Deciding between OEM and retail options depends on your needs and budget.
