Im planning on buying windows 8.1 for a 6 year old computer. The computer has a 6gb RAM, AMD Phenom 2.2 ghz. I'm also buying a new Hard drive 1tb SSHD from seagate. The tower is from 2008. I think that the hard drive is done; it wont let me install anything. So I would be buying a new hard drive and buying a new OS because HP doesnt provide the 'code' for when reinstalling the OS.


Here is the link for the OS im going to be buying: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832416712

I think its a physical CD since newegg is charging me $3 for shipping. But I wanted to double check just for sure. Thank you!
