Frequently Asked Questions

Which Windows version do I need?

That depends on how you use your computer. Windows Home is suitable for most home users who browse the internet, email, stream, and game. Windows Pro is designed for business users and offers additional features such as BitLocker encryption, Remote Desktop, and advanced device management. Not sure? Feel free to contact us for personal advice.

What is the difference between a Retail and OEM license?

In many cases, a Retail license is transferable to another computer and is often chosen by users who want to upgrade later. An OEM license is intended for a single computer and is linked to the device on which it is first activated. Each product page clearly states which license type you will receive.

Which Microsoft Office version is best for me?

Do you use Word, Excel, and PowerPoint at home? Then Office Home & Student is often sufficient. Do you also work with Outlook or use Office for business? Then Office Home & Business or Office Professional is a better choice. Always check the product specifications or contact us if you are unsure.

Can I transfer my software to another computer later?

That depends on the type of license. With many Retail licenses, it's possible to transfer the software to another computer later. OEM licenses are tied to a device and usually cannot be transferred. Always check the product information before ordering.

How do I know if the software is suitable for my computer?

For each product, you will find the minimum system requirements and compatibility information. Please check in advance if your computer meets the requirements. Do you have any questions about this? We are happy to help you choose the right software for your device.

Can I get advice before placing an order?

Yes. We'd be happy to help you choose the right Windows, Office, or antivirus version. Tell us what you want to use the software for and on which device you want to install it. Based on that, we will recommend the version that best suits your situation.
