I recently obtained a W10 Pro OEM license from Kinguin, but I’m not sure how to proceed. I fear using the upgrade product key dialog might reject it because it’s an OEM product. Should I install Windows from scratch or can I use it normally? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Begin with the trial key to install the upgrade, then add the OEM key. Be aware it might still be denied or restricted later because it isn't a genuine key purchased from the official source.

It's better to use the Windows installer instead of the settings dialog for upgrading from W10 home.

Search for the standard trial key online and enter it during setup. Once the upgrade completes, apply the purchase key to finish activation.

Certainly! Here’s a revised version of your sentence:

"Ah, thank you kindly, good sir."
