Quick question about Windows 7

mill4978 · 11-03-2009, 03:41 AM

I was just wondering what is the difference between windows 7 OEM for system builders and windows 7 full version? Can't I used windows 7 for system builders on my computer if I'm not going to sale the computer?

Yes you can. It will be tied to that hardware, so moving it to a different computer
later, will be difficult at best.

Thats not completely true...but just you gotta call MS and get them to reactivate..

once you know the number and way to breeze through the automated telephone system..its literally 5 minutes or less to reactivate the oem dvd serial key!

and no, its not illegal..your harddrive simply died and you need to put Win7 onto your new harddrive..the one you just bought!!

I said it's difficult, not impossible.
