Hi

I need to install Windows 7 on my main desktop PC but I only have the upgrade version. Do I need the OEM version or Retail version of Windows 7?

Regards

Legally you need a previous version of windows, but an in place install is possible (although illegal) without a previous copy I think

OEM licence is tied to a single computer forever. Retail can be transferred.

You can do a clean install using a upgrade version of Win 7.
