Wrong, as always. Its the retail sale that legally allows you to use the OS that you bought with the hardware.

And you are massively confusing the purported 'licence' conditions anyway.

With an OEM 'licence', thats between the operation that packages the PC
with PCs that are sold with an OS included, or with the operation that bought
the OEM OSs from Microsoft when a small operation assembles a PC from
parts and includes an OEM OS with the PC, not the end user.

You havent got a clue about even the most basic consumer law.
