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.

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.
