I have an Alienware M17x and wanted to check if I can buy Windows 7 Home premium and upgrade it on my computer... My friends who work for some hardware outlets told that Alienware has a different windows 7, but not the one which is compatible for all computers. Please respond to this...

It's the same Windows 7 on every other computer.

Your friends may be referring to the fact that it's an OEM copy, which will be true for any pre-built PC you buy. OEM licenses can only be used on their respective computers, whereas with a retail license, it can be installed and uninstalled from any machine and moved to any machine (but only used once at a time).
