What's the difference

The Retail License is actually the complete license when you purchase a copy of Windows 10 from a store or an online store. Retail involves the purchase of the package in a box containing the system, the license and the documentation of the product), and does not apply to a single computer, ie it can be transferred from one computer to another after it has been deleted from the previous computer and then activated with this key on another computer.

The second, the OEM license, is used by computer manufacturers to supply their computers with Windows 10 pre-installed. For example, if you buy a new computer or laptop pre-installed with Windows 10, the license type is OEM. This license cannot be transferred from one computer to another.

Quick tip: Nowadays, OEM product keys are built into the BIOS / UEFI firmware to prevent license theft.

The third is volume licensing and is generally used by governments, educational institutions and large companies. Because they buy more, they get licenses at a much lower price than a regular user who buys one or two licenses.
