    ok that creates more questions than t answers… what do you mean by pc upgrades? do you mean that it wont work with new cpus, gpus etc?

  3. pmilleroly27 says:

    do you happen to have a copy of both versions? Amazon doesn’t explain whether the copy is oem or retail. Can you tell based off the packaging?

  10. bm5k says:

    So does the retail version of Windows 7 have limitations? I’m still confused on what the difference is really…

    im amazed that you can keep up with 1000 videos

    yeah there are shipping costs involved but it’s still way too much, since we have a chunck of Microsoft here in Wellington so there shouldn’t be any middle men throughout the import process. But it should be priced more or less the same to keep it relative to our pockets. $200 USD is quite a bit of money once it’s converted to NZD. And the OEM Win7 Pro is $254. But I’m more annoyed at having to pay for 32bit disc when I don’t want it or need it.

  14. abooguh says:

    $493, shit, what are they making you pay over there, in the us, it is only $200, and I thought it was kind of expensive!!! Microsoft seems to be more money hungry!!! now a days!!!

  15. abooguh says:

    yes you can. I have reinstalled windows vista home premium (OEM) more than once, and works completely fine. Note that I didn’t change the hardware, and I am not sure about reformatting the hard drive!

  16. acidspoodie says:

    Lucky Xp OEM can, I’ve upgraded my mobo 5 times and had no issues with XP Pro 32bit OEM. It’s just as well I checked up the difference between OEM and Retail for Win 7. Looks like I’ll be forking out for the retail which I’m not to happy about paying extra for 32bit and 64bit discs when I only want 64bit. The price in New Zealand sucks $493. Blow me Microsoft.

    im building a rig thats costing me $4000 and having some oem products to lower the price a but is not a bad idea. anything like Hdds and Processors (if you have the cpu fan already, because oem processors olny come with with the chip and thats it) thats fine but for things such as software i recomend buying retail.

  18. GooberProductionz says:

    Does the Same “Time Limit” with upgrading
    Hardware also go For OEM Windows 7 also????

    And, How long is the time limit(30 days,20 days,10 days, OR…WHaT???

  19. Gahman900 says:

    so oem only works on home built computers?

  20. bradahbob says:

    does oem windows 7 come with a reinstall disk?

  21. abooguh says:

    No, unless you buy a new operating system, I bought a new os (windows 7 retail version) and installed it on my old computer, then 2 months later decided to put the os on my upgraded computer (motherboard, ram, and cpu was upgraded) and was very easy to reactivate windows 7. But oem version of any windows will not allow you to upgrade your motherboard.

  22. upagainstinsanity16 says:

    One question is retail considered still new??or is it used??

  23. anonyingteen says:

    on vista oem can i upgrade the mother bord?

  24. DarkCraft41 says:

    as long as you don’t upgrade the motherboard then yes. You can upgrade anything else, but not the motherboard.
