RE: (Retail Product keys are unique. OEM Product keys are the same.)
Windows licenses I've bought at retailers are described as "Microsoft OEM System Builder License" and the product keys are unique.

Obviously the term "OEM" is being used differently from factory-builds.

Did find this 2014 article about computers with Windows pre-installed, but he uses the term "OEM" also
Clean OEM Windows installation

Btw, this is a better link for "Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder" mentioned in the article.

Another interesting program in the article is "SLIC Toolkit v3.2" but support ends with Windows 7.
