Hey guys, I live in Ireland and I'm building my first gaming PC, but I forgot to include Windows OS in the price. If anyone has a free copy I could use, I'd really appreciate it.
I've got a 32bit win 7 home edition somewhere which i bought cheap a long time ago.... but yea 32bit ... not so sexy..
Haha yeah, I think I'll keep looking but thanks for answering
Google is a powerful tool.
I think you may be able to download the trial version of Windows 8 as well.

Also, linux is a great, free alternative. Linux supports quite a few games. You can use it until you can get your hands on a copy of Windows.

Let's not start bad habits for gamers XD
find a LEGAL oem at a store
I've heard of a site called "The Pirate Bay" In which sailors can "Sail away" For free.
I've heard that Microsoft adds totally free viruses to their software! Woow!
Anyways, you can get Win 8.1 for $119, Pro version for $199...

Just reminding that Linux is free and safe :D
Just reminding you that there is a site where pirates can be pirates... at pirate.. bay
too much face desk
Honestly. Just pirate it yo.
First, most anyone (here) knows that Windows is not "free" and that installing/using it without a license is a very big no-no! ...Even in Ireland.
That crap aside, would you know how to make your own Windows install disk from an .iso file? If so, then maybe this article will help:
