Pardon what might be a very obvious question. I'm building a system soon and there's something I haven't been ale to get clear on. If you already own Windows 7, the Service Packs are available as free updates. But they can be purchased for $100 , cheaper than the base OS. My question is: if I'm building a system, can I ONLY purchase the service pack to install Windows? Asked differently, does the paid service pack already also include the OS?
Many many thanks.
