Windows 10 or Windows 8.1 for a new build?
in Software ·
Hey everyone, I’m looking at picking up this laptop specifically for video editing and general multimedia work:
It comes with Windows 8 pre-installed (not sure which specific build), but does that mean I actually get a physical Windows DVD in the box?
Also, what is the most complete version of Windows 8 out there? If it shows up with some stripped-down, budget version—kind of like if I had a basic version and wanted something more heavy-duty like Windows 7 Ultimate—can I legally just upgrade it, or am I stuck wiping the whole drive to install the version I actually want? And if I do go the route of a clean install, will the activation process even work normally?
