For my new pc build, which, for the most part is completed, I have finalized the price at $704, however my friend has an old 500GB hard drive which he used the windows XP install disk from dell on. So if i got his hard drive (which he is willing to do) i could potentially save like $100 because i would not have to buy windows 7 home premium and i would only have to upgrade to it.
My question: is that OS linked to my friends motherboard? If it is not, would i just be able to buy a windows 7 upgrade disk to get the os i need (windows 7 home premium) or would i need to upgrade twice... (to vista, then to 7)?
Furthermore, my build is Here
(my budget is to not exceed ~$750 but i would like to keep it under 700 plz )
