Need help upgrading/installing Win 7 on new SSD

Apparently it is valid. Is that a full copy, no other install required?

There is a...snafu. I live in the USA. I speak the English. And in the language options, it's giving me French and Korean as options, and not English? I bought it from digital river back in '09. Help?



I can't get the image thing to work, so it's located here: http://prntscr.com/a5koe9

I'm in the Pacific Time zone and the region is set as USA English. Thoughts?

Thanks for taking the time, Geekwad. I've got more questions! Does that mean that English is a no-go with my key, and only languages I don't speak will work?

Much of what I've read talks about the nightmare of Win 10, which as I understand it is sometimes referred to as Win 8.x. I don't use a tablet, smartphone, or other things, and I value my privacy, so I've got concerns about Win 10 stealing my dataz. I don't want interconnection between my devices, and I don't want or need all the online inter-connectivity that MS is pushing in the form of OneDrive, the app store (they're called programs where I come from dangnabit), Xbox-connectivity, etc. The reason for going for 7 is that it's the last MS OS that isn't a godawful tablet abomination (Win 8) and doesn't seem...questionable...from a privacy perspective (10). Now I am frugal, so it's possible that if my choices are to create a Win 10 ISO & install that or buy a new English copy of Win 7 I might cheap out. Okay, I'll probably cheap out. But I'm really hoping you'll say that there's some way to make 7 work.

Now I do enjoy gaming, so Win 10 & Directx 12 has some appeal. But given that 50% of Steam's user base is on 7, I don't think it's going away anytime soon. It's partially that I'm a desktop guy, and partially that previous upgrades in OS have been somewhat tumultuous. I came from DOS and I spent several hours hunting for the 'My Computer' icon. Which changed to 'Computer' in the 2000s. Bah and humbug.

So currently, I'm running:

System:
AMD Phenom II 720 Black Edition /w giant tower cooler
Asus M4A79T Deluxe Mobo
Seasonic M12D PSU
Radeon 6870 Graphics Card (Yes, the one that sounds like you're inside a wind tunnel)
8 GB RAM
1 TB HDD
280 GB Raptor <- Current system drive
(new, hoping to install new OS on) 1 TB SSD
Yes, it's old. And about time for an upgrade, but research suggests that Polaris/Pascal and new/better chips are coming out SOON (TM).

If I install my OS now, will I need to buy another new copy of Windows when I upgrade the graphics card and CPU & Mobo? I vaguely remember hours spent on the phone with MS customer support in my younger years because I kept tinkering with the insides, and I had to call Every Bloody Time I reformatted & reinstalled (after the first few) and spend an hour or two on hold waiting to talk to India. Has that gotten better/changed? Or if I install Win 7/10 now am I going to have to talk to MS about my hardware change for hours?

Heh, that's a lot of text. Thanks for being so helpful.
