If I purchase the full Windows 8 OEM disc, can I use it to upgrade a Windows 7 installation... as opposed to doing a clean install?
I'd like to have the full version of the OS, but at this point only want to upgrade a windows 7 installation. If I rebuilt the machine I could then use the disc for a clean install.
Given the low price of the upgrade download, I'd use that to upgrade and then only buy the full version when you actually need it. – ChrisF – 2012-10-30T13:29:16.550
Isn't the OEM version price expected to increase next year? If that's the case I'd rather buy the OEM version now. – John – 2012-10-30T14:16:20.793
