i.e. A Windows OS licence is not a resaleable product.
Any idea if this is true?
Last I recall, looking at the EULA, a Windows OEM licence is tied to a particular hardware unit. It can be transferred along with that unit, but not resold separately. Windows retail licences, on the other hand, are sold separately. And cost more. You should be able to check details here <https://www.microsoft.com/en-nz/useterms>.
