Using windows on imac

I want to use windows 7 on my imac. I've been advised to buy windows 7 full version. I found one on eBay and was wondering if anyone knows if this is the correct windows software and if it will install and work. Thanks

From what I've read of the eBay listing it should work.

Are you planning to install through Bootcamp or through Parallels Desktop?
Either way it should work though :)
 
I think you need Win 7 PRO to take advantage of the performance capabilities of the CPU.
 
I was going to run it through bootcamp. I need to install snow leopard and then was thinking of upgrading to mavericks.

Ridiculous. Unless you need domain support, you don't need the Pro version.

There is a little more then "just domain support" difference between Home and Pro for Win 7

I am completely new to iMac world and making what is becoming an arduous task switching from PC's, which I have been using since before they were called PC's. I came to this forum several months ago to start searching on this transition.

That said, I would suggest the the OP check out the Win 7 forums for his answer.

Or he could check this page which has a pretty good chart of the various versions.
