| 1410921 | 2015-11-04 01:46:00 | I'm building another computer and I can't say I like windows 10 much. Everywhere I go it's an OEM, so do they still sell Windows 7 Home 64 bit full version (Not OEM)? | lostsoul62 (16011) | ||
| 1410922 | 2015-11-04 01:59:00 | You'll be hard pressed to find a copy. Retail sales of Windows 7 Home from Microsoft officially ended way back on October 31, 2013 and OEM sales on October 31, 2014. Maybe some places stocked up big, but I wouldn't hold my breath. Windows 7 Pro OEM is still available until October 31, 2016 if that's any use to you (and I'm sure places like PBTech will have this one available still). | inphinity (7274) | ||
| 1410923 | 2015-11-04 02:00:00 | Why do you need the 'full' version - OEM is fine as you're building a new PC. There is no actual difference in the software. www.pbtech.co.nz |

| 1410924 | 2015-11-04 02:27:00 | There is a lot of difference in the software. If your computer gets trashed, that's the difference | lostsoul62 (16011) | ||
| 1410925 | 2015-11-04 02:55:00 | Right, sorry I see why you were asking that now. | wratterus (105) | ||
| 1410926 | 2015-11-04 02:59:00 | There is a lot of difference in the software. If your computer gets trashed, that's the difference Huh? The only difference is the full retail version gets some free support from MS and can be transferred to new hardware provided it's removed from the old. I bought retail windows 10 this time round so I can transfer it in future theoretically (and because the price difference is smaller than it used to be) but have used OEM on every other build with no issues. The is no functional difference between retail and OEM at a software level. Most "off the shelf" systems people buy have OEM windows on them. |

Expect to pay $500-$600 + Look up pricing on Amazon $347 USA Windows 7 Pro retail was End of Life October 31, 2013. You'll be hard pressed ( or lucky) to find any shops that still have it. Windows 7 Pro OEM is still available. |

| 1410928 | 2015-11-04 03:56:00 | ....blah ....If your computer gets trashed ...... ......then you just re-use the OEM. It works & can be activated. Or just pay a few hundy more for full retail if you must . For 7 full retail you will need to buy Win 8.1pro or 10pro, then downgrade it to 7. You will have to find a 7 install key from somewhere to use for the downgrade |
