Bit of a nooby question but I'm just getting more confused here.
If someone is building a PC (for personal use) are they allowed to buy the Windows 8 OEM? Up till just now, I thought OEM was specifically for people building systems with no OS present on them.
I also read that you can only use the OEM windows 8 once and that it's tied to your motherboard or something like that. I'd rather have the ablility to re-install the OS if anything goes wrong with the first install (on the same rig).
I still haven't built the rig yet because I need to buy the OS.
Could someone clear this up for me?
Cheers.
