Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit.
Buy this, it's an OEM (original equipment manufacturer) disk, so it's not fancy or anything. Also, get 64bit because it supports more than 4GB of RAM

+1, also know that the OEM version isn't transferable. It gets linked to your motherboard, so you can't change that.

I'm pretty sure you can transfer it if you call Microsoft and say "I upgraded my motherboard because my old one wasn't up to my needs" or something like that

r0aringdrag0n is correct, I have done this many times!

Not up to my needs? I might try that... Anyways it is bordering illegal doing that but hey, it is your morale not mine. (not criticism, just saying, you not me.)

Not illegal, just tell them you are updating your hardware, which is 100% accurate and moral.
