Is it fake? Is it original equipment manufacturer? Where can I buy Windows 7?
I'm searching for Windows 7 on Amazon. I'll consider either the home premium or professional editions. The professional version is available from one seller at a reduced price: the link provided shows it for £455344027. There are many positive reviews, though some claim it's a fake or counterfeit copy of Windows 7. It seems the original release was meant for Dell computers, but someone simply used a disc and activation code to sell it. The home premium edition also carries a reputation of being fake, which explains the lower cost for a more feature-rich OS. However, OEM discs are typically intended for other brands' systems and are often resold. This raises concerns about authenticity. What should I do? I might be misunderstanding something. Regarding the '*' symbol, it's unclear what you mean. As for the code, I won't break any rules. The retail versions are quite pricey, but if these OEM copies are indeed counterfeit, I might prefer paying more for genuine software.
Do you have any knowledge of students or are you a student? If yes, proceed with this link: http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msuk....288533400 It's not an OEM and it's quite affordable. Plus, if anyone mentions G2A don't pay attention—they might be MSDN licenses, which means they have a limited time.
Obtain the Windows 7 ISO file and insert the license key to bypass bloatware and viruses. For concerns about fake keys, contact Amazon—they usually refund you.
OEM disks are acceptable. However, purchase only from trusted sellers. I've never bought a retail disk before, but I've purchased many OEM ones because they're intended for system builders. On Amazon, if you find a counterfeit one, you can report it and get your money back.
Thanks for the feedback! I'm still figuring it out. Could you share the specific part or context where you found it? That way, I can help clarify further.
