So I am getting ready to order parts for the computer but I'm not sure which Windows version to get.
The way I understand it after some research.
Windows 8 OEM:
-Slight performance increase
-Can be transferred without licensing problems if upgrading or getting a new PC.
Windows 7 OEM:
-*Can* be transferred if I call Microsoft and they decide to give me a code
-Costs less
I was wondering if I should spend $90 on Windows7 OEM or spend the extra to get Windows 8 (8.1?)
I do plan on upgrading my PC when it starts to get a bit dated, but not too often.
Mainly what I am wondering is if Windows 8 is better in the long run compared to windows 7.
And in case you need it, my PC build (less the graphics card I already have) http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2h6yv
EDIT: and I now realized just how many of these have already been posted... another one cant hurt right?
