    Windows 7 Retail


    Does anyone know where I can find retail copies of Windows 7? It's really hard for me to find them.

    I did a quick look around and the only retail versions I could were grossly overpriced ones being sold by dodgy vendors. NewEgg still has OEM versions; that may be your only safe choice (there are a lot of counterfeit ones knocking about).

    I'm glad I scored my retail copies 14 months ago.

    Go with oem system builder windows 7

    Once installed, it's bound to that computer but still, for the price it's the way to go.

    There are plenty of OEM but no real retail. If you have something to upgrade from, here is this.

    It seems odd you are asking for a retail copy. Do you mind if I ask why? You can buy an Upgrade version for the same price as an OEM and it can be moved from one PC to another. You would have to have a previous version of Windows. Do you qualify for that? == An OEM version is the same program but tied to the one PC.

    What I'm trying to do is to downgrade from Windows 8.1 to Windows 7 of any edition. I heard you must buy a retail copy but correct me if I'm wrong.

    That's completely wrong. Any OEM version will install just as well and is a lot cheaper.
