You need to get an OEM version. Subsequent versions are only upgrades.

Amazon sells it, as does Newegg and a few others.

An OEM version can only legally be sold with hardware or under the System Builder program . There are loopholes, but its ugly side is it's only valid for the first machine installed on.

Make sure it is 8.1. Because 8 is crap and better off with 7.

You can upgrade to 8.1 free of charge from 8 though?

You are right. Now I know why I hate windows licensing so much.

You can get it through your school or work for $9.75 if they have a licensing agreement with MS. Make sure to get the Win 8.1 64 bit upgrade (MAC edition) when you d/l it.

left school 60 years ago and gladly not working
