It occurred naturally. I’m not confident about the details, but it seems important for the accounting process.

I don't agree. I was able to pull out a key from an OEM using MS chat, which suggests it's genuine.

The main goal of an OEM key is to be sold to the PC manufacturer at a reduced price, not to the final customer. It's Microsoft's software, allowing them to create exceptions when needed, though that should not be the case according to policy.

OEM keys are provided through an existing system while PC retail keys are given straight to the customer. The main variation lies in how the user receives the key.

Currently it's a bit unclear since end users can obtain OEM keys. Typically, an OEM key is tied to the initial PC it's installed on, while retail keys can be moved between devices during upgrades.

It's unclear. MS might be more lenient with OEM keys since it's hard to tell them apart from retail ones, or because people can buy OEM keys on Amazon at a similar cost to regular ones.

I believe Microsoft seems indifferent since their goal is widespread Windows 10 adoption. The real challenge arises when you possess an OEM key and wish to upgrade your motherboard—this depends heavily on their support policies. Still, I think remote access is essential because they might need to issue a replacement key. While it’s possible they could simply provide a new activation key, I’m unsure if they’d agree to that approach.
