Replacing Windows 8 with 7 on OEM desktop?
I have a full retail version of Windows 7 on my old computer on its last legs and want to install it on a new computer. I don't have time to build one from scratch and would like to get a new desktop computer from HP. I don't want Windows 8, so can I just replace the hard drive on the new computer and install Windows 7 on the OEM computer? Is there anything in the HP computer to prevent this installation?
