Posted: Tue Mar 02, 2004 1:02 am Post subject: Installing Windows XP Professional OEM |
|
|
This is the product in question from http://newegg.com.
[url=http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=37-102-143&catalog=368&manufactory=BROWSE&depa=6]
Microsoft Windows XP Professional - Full Version OEM[/url]
I am going to install this on a new build computer. And I wanted to know if the OS would install on it. I know it says Full Version. I just want to make sure if it will install on a new computer (new HD, new everything) with out a problem.
This is going to be the first time I build a computer. I think I will be getting most of the parts from newegg.com. Has anyone have anything to say about newegg.com or.. something i should know about it? Thanks, I hope I didn't sound like too much of a newb.. -.-'
oh, also if someone could post/email if theyknow of a site that has some info on installing the OS, since I haven't done it on a new computer before and it would be nice if I could just look over it online so I know a little more about everything. |

| I was going to post the same question. Even though it says "Full Version," it's $170 cheaper than going to Best Buy! Even for NewEgg, damn! |

Yeah, not the most ideal thing when you first install your OS and the next thing you do is download a bunch of patches to fix what you just put in. |

NewEgg gets some of the highest ratings. I've bought from them and really appreciated the quick delivery AND no shipping on some items.
I just built a computer and would recommend buying the motherboard and OEM from someone you can reach out and touch. Sending a motherboard back is a pain. All the other stuff is negotiable.
