Hey, I'm on a tight budget and the OEM versions of Windows seem shitty since it's stuck to the motherboard. Is there anyway I can back up my Alienware like a system disc and restore it on the new PC? Or is there another alternative solution that is cheap to get a genuine copy of Windows 7 on my PC.
I have an OEM disc for Windows XP and Windows 7 for Alienware.
you could try the windows 7 alienware key (though it may not work)... but windows 8 is like $40 atm, and it's not really that bad
$40? Where? I live in Singapore btw.
oh, in canada... not sure about singapore tbh
search the internet you will find some for free :P
hmm. thanks guys!
Is this site for real guys? http://www.windows7anytimekey.com/windows-7-ultimate-product-key-p-3528.html
it may be real but they are probably Volume OEM keys like these that dont require activation

What do you mean don't require activation?
corporate volume keys dont require activation
So i can just use those for free on my custom build?
yes
but i would use windows loader by DAZ
and you want to avoid this update

Nice. This is awesome. Do I need to take note of the different brands that the OEMs are linked to?
no
you can actually use any of them, but it will say that is your computer brand in system information
thank you so much for your help!
