Hey guys, my friend built a new PC. He now wishes to purchase Windows 7. His dealer is offering him 2 options - OEM or Retail. The OEM one costs much less than the Retail version. Will the OEM version work on his PC? Thanks in advance.
starams5, thanks a lot for the reply. Much appreciated Its an assembled system, not manufactured through HP/Dell/etc. This is the thing that really worries me: He's going to buy the above. Will the generic OEM DVD work without SLIC in BIOS/ACPI Table?
@BobSheep, thanks Nope it doesn't have a SLIC table as its a new Intel board. Can you please explain one more thing: h t t p://goo.gl/fbfgO Those who are buying the ^above products and succesfully activating, already have SLIC table & OEM certificate in their system, right?
