Hi everyone,
I'm looking to build my new system and run Windows 7 64-bit HP with it. I can get the OEM version for around $100, but I'm not sure if I want to be confined to this single pc forever without calling and begging Microsoft to reauthorize. The computer I'm replacing now will pretty much be scrapped when I'm done building my new one. I upgraded its OS from Windows 98 to Windows XP (yes, a long, long time ago) with a Windows XP Upgrade Version purchased from Best Buy. My question is: Is my Windows XP Upgrade Version able to be used to upgrade again to Windows 7 with the Windows 7 Upgrade Version? Thanks in advance.
