So I bought Microsoft Windows 8.1 - 64-bit - OEM from newegg for my PC I just built and just wanted to make sure it will boot up and install an OS like a fresh install on my new rig. I read that it should but just wanted to double check. Also I know OEM has restrictions and could someone tell me exactly what they are? Thanks guys. Mainly just want to make sure this will give me a fresh install OS.

I also have Windows 8.1 OEM, got it only because I wanted to try it out with my new build. Pretty unimpressed. Anyway the only drawback is that, for example, if your motherboard fails due to a blown MOSFET, or whatever, your copy of Windows will not work with a different motherboard. This means that you would have to buy another copy. I would hate to have that happen to me. I'd resort to Linux, lololol
