Hi

Can be the Windows OS running in my StoreEasy 1470  be updated with the latest packages available from Microsoft or this OS is a customized OS?

Hi  WilliamSmith11,

There is no many differences in the binaries or windows 2022 retails vs OEM and the key difference between windows are below


Licensing:

• OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer): Pre-installed on the server hardware (e.g., HPE StoreEasy or ProLiant). The license is tied to the specific hardware and cannot be transferred to another server.
• Retail: A standalone license that is purchased separately and can be transferred between devices (within the terms of the agreement).
• Cost:
• OEM: Cheaper because it's meant for specific hardware with limited support and no software assurance.
• Retail: More expensive as it includes additional licensing flexibility and sometimes bundled features like client access licenses (CALs).
  
  

Support:

• OEM: Support is provided by the hardware vendor (e.g., HPE), not Microsoft.
• Retail: Direct support from Microsoft is available.

Features:

• Both OEM and Retail versions have the same core binaries and functionality. However, retail versions may include licensing for additional features or optional add-ons.

1. Microsoft Updates for Windows Server 2022 OEM

• Applicability: All Microsoft updates and patches are available for both OEM and Retail versions of Windows Server 2022.
• Delivery: Updates are delivered through Windows Update, WSUS (Windows Server Update Services), or manual downloads from the Microsoft Update Catalog.
• There are no restrictions on applying updates to the OEM version.
