With a retail license, do you refer to a Microsoft-issued certification?
All licenses originate from Microsoft. There are two primary categories: retail and OEM. Retail licenses are pricier and designed for direct purchase to end users. OEM licenses are more affordable since they accompany a complete new build, placing responsibility on the manufacturer for customer support. Marketplace sales typically offer OEM licenses, often aimed at business clients or organizations.
Other than Microsoft store, Newegg, Amazon, and MicroCenter in the US, most major retailers carry these products. They’re typically the top licenses sold by big stores. I’d purchase mine from Jimms or Verkkokauppa.com, the two largest local shops. For instance, Newegg https://www.newegg.com/microsoft-windows...6832588506
You could simply enter any shop that sells computer products, grab the item, and pay for it. Then set it up and turn it on when required. Neither retail or OEM keys are turned on at the time of purchase. You might also install Windows without activation, though using it over the long term without activation is linked to piracy.
