What's the difference between various Windows disks?
Can someone explain the difference between Windows retail version (to install on a new HDD), an OEM version (would it install on a new HDD in a new computer), a recovery disk, a repair disk? I think I covered them all.
I'm trying to find a Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit disk to put on a new hard drive in a new HP Elite desktop. I know there is a risk that it would be a pirated copy and I hope I am lucky enough to avoid that happening. I really want a brand new disk. Kicking myself for not buying my own disk even though my previous computer, an HP Pavilion laptop, came with Windows 7 Home Premium installed.
Thank you.
