Hi

I'm seriously considering changing from Windows Vista to Windows 7.
http://www.microsoft.com/uk/windows/buy/default.aspx
My question is what's the best to buy an upgrade or Full Version & what is the difference between them.

Things to take in to account is the fact I already have Vista pre-installed on my laptop.


Thank you.

OEM is tied to one machine and that's it.
If you add a new hard drive, mother board or any other new internal hardware, you have to call MS to reactivate your license key.

Posts ammended. My apologies for any confusion.

To the OP and future readers, please note that there are certain licensing requirements that a person is obliged to follow in order to use OEM software.

That information can be found here: http://oem.microsoft.com/script/contentpag...x?pageid=563841
