It seems you're unsure about the best setup for installing Windows 8. You mentioned not having Windows for a while and want to try it on your laptop, which is currently running Linux. You might need to check if Windows 8 is available for older systems or consider alternative installation methods.

Purchase a genuine OEM version of Windows 8.1, insert the disk, and set it up.

You definitely don't require XP or similar perks

Insert the disc and remove the HDD, then set up Windows 8.

I believe it needs a more recent Windows operating system if your version is Windows 8. Otherwise, as an OEM or system builder, you likely don't require it.

Awesome, thanks for the heads up. I'll need the OEM version then.
