Hi ... I just now downloaded a windows 7 pro 64b iso and I'm curious if there a way to tell if the windows is an retail or OEM version? I was told what I downloaded was an OEM version but I want to be sure. Also, if it is an OEM version can it be used on a Dell PC? It's the exact windows version that is preinstall by Dell ... Thanks MD5 ED15956FE33C13642A6D2CB2C7AA9749 SHA-1 0BCFC54019EA175B1EE51F6D2B207A3D14DD2B58

Hi Urie... Oh, I know its not a Dell windows version. I just want to know whether its a Retail or an OEM version? And whether it still can be used on a Dell computer with license key? Thanks
It really doesn't matter. Even if you install a "Retail" version, you can change the key to an "OEM" key later. At install time there is a clue in the EULA that's presented what version is used. Before install time, if you check the sources\ei.cfg file in notepad, it will tell you under "Channel" You would be looking for it to say Code: [EditionID] Professional [Channel] OEM [VL] 0 I have an ISO claiming to be X17-59186 with matching CRC as above. ei.cfg reports as: Code: [EditionID] Professional [Channel] Retail [VL] 0 Which to me says it's retail.
