OEM Bullshit Anonymous 2016-02-09 20:37:44 Post No. 53335 [Report]

So I'm rebuilding my computer. I can tell it's starting to fall to the wayside, and to be fair I've been running it every day for at least 4 or 5 years now. I'm starting at the "base" with a new mobo and cpu. There are mixed ideas as to whether or not you should reinstall an OS, and I have decided to be safe than sorry and invest in a new OS as well while I'm changing mobo and cpu out. Enter Windows 7 OEM. I have researched this shit ten times over and am at a loss in what I should invest in, enter you guys. I trust the opinion of 4chan before I trust talking to Microsoft themselves (which is sad). I need to know whether or not I can use these OEM's which seem to be a bit sketchy, or if I need to invest in a full retail version of Windows 7 which seems to be rarer than unicorn pussy.

If someone could just send me a fucking link of what I'm supposed to buy, I'll be out of your hair.

Thanks 4chan.

You'll probably be better off purchasing a retail version:

The link is still OEM, not full retail. Secondly I've heard some problems with refurb OS's that your hardware might not recognize is appropriately. I'm not sure about all of that, just what I've heard.
