I am building a new computer for the first time. I want to go to Vista 64 bit. (use Vista ultimate 32 bit on my current build.) NewEgg sells a version of Vista Ultimate for system builders.
Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate SP1 64-bit English 1pk DSP OEI DVD for System Builders - OEM
[size=2]
Are ther limitations with this version of Windows other than use with my new build only?
My current is OEM(no DVD). I want a DVD that I can use if I have to clean install etc...
Does it do everything a full retail version does?
Thanks for any advice.
