So all i see in the microsoft store are "upgraded" (from 7 or XP/Vista). Cant i just buy and download a legal version of it to make a clean install? Or i MUST go and buy from a retailler?

If you buy and start the 'upgrade' process from MS...if you are on a Windows 7 PC you can create a full install DVD.
NOTE: you must be on a system of the same bit level as what you want to end up with. If you want a 64bit install, it must be done from a 64bit Win 7 system.

Well then...the download option from MS won't work.
Buy it from Amazon/Newegg/TigerDirect/etc. Choose 1 day shipping....have it tomorrow.

So there's no downloadable option? I mean im from South America, so i dont think its 1 day shipping, plus the shipping price...

I would like to download the instalable files so i can make an instalable DVD to make a clean install, paying the right price.
