Windows 7 64bit oem

[sethwilliam]

I've heard that the own edition which is the cheapest $89 is tied to your motherboard? Well I'm building a new pc and am getting this OS cuz I don't want to pay the $180 for the full version. What happened if my mother board ruins? Do I have to buy a new copy or will Microsoft give me a new code???

If something happens to your motherboard you can call up Microsoft and i've heard they'll generally give you another licence.

Hi

They don't always, its around 50/50 ...

We sell new 7 to LOTS of customers who MS will NOT activate again if OEM...

All the best Brett

What kind of proof would I need to tell them that I purchased the OS?

I've only heard good things about reactivation for OEM copies, as long as it was your fault, they're generally lenient but usually if the board where to die as a direct cause of the user, they will not lend you another license. But even then a lot of people tend to lie and say the motherboard died and from that i've only heard positive things as a result.

But of course i wouldn't ensure anything, it's simply from what i've heard for some time.
