Ding a fresh install of Win 7 need a refresher

OK; that's a fair price. It is $200 at Newegg.

Windows 10 Pro - Full Version (32 & 64-bit) / USB Flash Drive-Newegg.com

You should be able to carry it over to new PCs in the future--it's not "OEM" as far as I can tell.

Not sure why you need the Pro version, but it's your money.

I tend to overkill and I thought why not spend the $80 extra and have the pro version "just in case" I might need it. If I truely understood the difference between the 2 versions I might get the home version

Windows 10 Pro isn't "better" compared to Home.

It just has some additional features that will be activated that would remain unactivated if you bought the Home version.

The chances of you needing those features is small.

If you can't spend the $80 on something better like an SSD, new hard drive, booze, or floozies, then go for Pro.

Oh come on, you get plenty of help, don`t be a spoiled sport, it was only a suggestion. No one`s twisting your arm.

And I am not everyone, if you`re not a gamer then you don`t even need a card, the 4790K will be fine, I had one, I know.

We suggest that you save the $200 and just create a W10 installer, but you do what you want.
