My old HP Vista computer died and I'm buying components to build a new pc.
I know that there's no full retail version of Windows 8. This thread "Windows 8 OEM vs System Builder" http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/3889-73-windows-system-builder should have answered the question about which version to buy.
However, now I'm even more confused.
According to microsoftstore.com, "To install Windows 8 Pro, you must be running Windows XP SP3, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 Consumer Preview, or Windows 8 Release Preview."
I do not have any Windows discs or codes. Even still, it seems asinine to install Windows pre-8 only to then install 8.
Can someone straighten this out for me?
Thanks
