So I'm building my own PC for the first time. I am looking to get windows 7, however also looking to save money. Through my college discount I can get a free version of windows 7 ultimate, however its only an upgrade version and not the OEM version that I need. The other issue is that the Windows 7 is a download, so i couldn't access it without first installing another OS on my computer first.
Could I potentially buy XP oem for like 50$ and then put that on my newly build PC? Then from there I would use my free student upgrade to the 64bit version of windows 7 ultimate. I know I would have to do a clean install, but that shouldn't be an issue, correct? Would all of this work, or would I be better off just buying windows 7 oem and paying the extra 50$?
