You will need to purchase a key for each computer!

Microsoft has a three key version but it is an upgrade!

First time install.

There are oem versions which are cheaper and there are retail versions which are more but you will receive support from Microsoft!

When you sat upgrade, does that mean tha I have a verion of window 7 already on them?

Upgrade media assumes you have a legit version of vista or xp already installed!

Full install media is for a new hard drive or a computer with no operating system installed!

OK, so I will need to buy a key for both of them, right.....

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

YES a one license product key is good for only 1 computer!

What version of 7 you want depends on your needs !

Home premium is adequate for most people!

Ok, now I understad, so upgrade is what I need. I see at costco they have window 7 upgrade for 3 computers, will this be the right thing to buy?

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

As long as you have a legit version of xp or vista loaded already that is the right choice!

If for some reason you had any issues windows 7 upgrade discs can be used to do full installs!
