    Right click 'My Computer' > Properties.

    You can't really tell the retail and OEM copies apart, aside from the fact that the retail copy needs to be activated.

    Right under the registration details at that screen there is a product ID (not to be confused with product key). An OEM version has the ID built in this format: xxxxxx-OEM-xxxxxxx-xxxxxxx.
