OEM vs Retail
Hello
I am starting this bew topic to seperate it from my query about downloading the Windows iso.
I have read numerous forums and keep getting conflicting results.
1) Does the Windows 7 Pro 64Bit OEM dvd contain the exact same software and structure as the retail disk?
2) Can the OEM DVD be converted to a all version disk?
3) Can the ei.cfg be edited to change the edition to another version or the channel be changed to retail?
I have read that the OEM and Retail dvd restriction has been removed and the retail and oem disk data is exactly the same since Windows 7 and it does not matter what disk you use.
However this seems to be shot down on various forums.
Does anyone have a oem and retail version that they can check?
