I'm planning on that, but I still going to see if I can get Microsoft to change the key to Retail License. From what I've read, and the fact that the original "default key" was Retail, it may have originally been Retail Win 10 Pro upgrade on my original HP Laptop, that was replaced by this one due to a keyboard defect.
Also, HP Support hasn't posted any v2004 device drivers yet. I have an open elevated support case with HP. HP admits they're on their ass. HP can't say when v2004 device drivers will be posted. They agreed to extend my warranty by one year, because of their misrepresentation of "support" and the inconvenience of one of their computers under warranty that has the touch pad, touch screen, and pen device drivers disabled, because they don't have device drivers that will install on a v2004 system. Also, they didn't caution about holding off on v2004. They also offered to send me a free $60 set of headphones, but I don't want them.
When Windows comes pre-installed on a computer purchased from the vendor, the license is usually OEM.
If you purchased Windows separately, it's Retail.
When I upgraded a Windows 7 OEM and Windows 8.1 OEM to Windows 10, the license became Retail.
There is no real advantage to OEM vs Retail in Windows 10.
You can download the ISO using Rufus, the Media Creation Tool, whatever, and do repair installs using an in-place upgrade, or clean installs.
The digital license is embedded in the firmware, so as long as you don't change the motherboard, you're fine.
Yes, I thought I purchased a Retail Win 10 Pro Upgrade from the Microsoft Store. On my original HP Laptop with the defective keyboard, HP Support indicated that they didn't support Win 10 Pro probably because it was a Retail license. They told me to contact Microsoft. I could be wrong, but the original "default key" that the Microsoft Support gave me verbally was a Retail key.

HP probably doesn't support it because it sold with Windows 10 Home pre-installed.
That's what they expect to work on when a user calls in.
There are differences between Home and Pro.
That ship has already sailed.
Now I've got another device that can't find a driver.
Anybody else running v2004 with this issue?
