Can you load Windows 8.1 Pro without a previous version of Windows installed on the PC

I keep seeing reference that you have to have Windows 7 Installed to then upgrade it to 8.1 Pro. Cant 8.1 Pro be loaded on a PC without a previous Windows OS having been installed on it?

Yes, you can, you just need a FULL version of W8 (such as this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832416776&cm_re=windows_8.1-_-32-416-776-_-Product)

Those other versions that require W7 to already be on the system are UPGRADE versions.
