You're looking to set up a new system and need guidance on choosing an OS. Regarding OEM keys, they can be reliable if sourced from authorized providers. For your decision between Windows 10 Pro and Windows 10 Home, consider the features and budget—Pro offers more advanced tools while Home is more affordable.

OEM keys remain genuine Microsoft licenses, while retail keys differ in origin. Microsoft won’t assist with software problems using an OEM key; they advise reaching out to your system manufacturer, which is you.

OEM keys are essentially store-bought keys that stay tied to one computer and can't be transferred. Using an OEM key won't get you any support from Microsoft, and they'll advise you to reach out to the manufacturer. You can usually handle everything with a Windows copy that's OEM, just the items mentioned earlier. OEM keys are dependable, and I recommend Windows 10 Pro for the best experience. If you need the Home key function, go for Windows 10 Home. (My 1000th post)

Also, where are you sourcing the key? Don't obtain it from an untrusted site, get it from Kinguin.
