[Bobybobp]

Im looking to get windows 7 (64-bit) for my computer build and have no idea what im doing. What version should i get? The retail is very expensive and i dont want to get that really but im not sure if i can just buy the 64-bit version? Also how would i install it?

Thanks, Sam

On a new system you just enable boot from CD in the bios, stick the disk in the tray, and close the tray, and save/restart bios. It will boot from the disk and install Windows.

64 bit OEM. Just install it as chilipeppersc has stated.

Before you install, disconnect your Hdd. Go into the bios and select ACHI mode, save and exit. then install. When the win7 installation is finished, you then need to install your chipset and Gpu drivers.

If you are going with less than 16GB RAM inc. VRAM then Home Premium 64Bit OEM

If more ram the Pro. 64Bit OEM
