So are you saying that you want to use an upgrade version of Win7 for a clean install? If so, some people have installed Win7 from an upgrade disk, but it goes against Microsoft's policy. If you already have a computer with Win7, though, then you can just use the same hard drive, or clone it using my guide. Keep in mind that this is not possible with an OEM version. (Source: http://social.answers.microsoft.com...l/thread/c0ed7506-3860-44e0-bb7e-4eae345cf3eb)So i built a new rig, and is it possible to just use and upgrade win 7 on my new rig rather than having to shell out en extra $100 for a full version?
That is what I would do. Yes full version OEM is $99 at NewEgg I believe. The only advantage I really see retail over OEM is system migration. I don't care about the rest.alright i could careless about microsoft support so should i just get the 99$ OEM? and that will work even thoughi have no OS?
