Installing a new OS?

[jerodpaul]

Hi,
I'm under the impression that on a completely new computer, to install any windows OS you need a license, and the Windows OS. Is this true? Or is it just as easy as buying 64 bit windows and installing it?
Thanks,
Jerod

Just buy the OS. It will come with the activation key.
