Anyone still running Windows 7?
in Software ·
I'm planning on picking up Windows 7 Professional 64 in the next few days.
I was wondering, though—is there actually anything specific I should be looking out for when I'm buying this? I just want to make sure I don't end up footing the bill for a completely blank disc or something equally useless. < .>
I’ll probably just look for a deal on Craigslist or maybe some other local classifieds site.
By the way, I happened to stumble upon something described as "Windows 7 Professional 64-bit with SP1 OEM refurbished."
I'm trying to wrap my head around what "OEM refurbished" actually implies here. Something keeps nagging at me—I think I read somewhere that certain versions of Windows are tied specifically to the original hardware they came with, meaning you can't just take them and slap them onto a custom-built PC or some other rig we put together ourselves. Does anyone know if that's actually how it works?
I mean, at the end of the day, I really wouldn't want to just throw my money down the drain.
