Hi,
I was curious as to the difference between installing Windows 7 OEM and Windows 7 retail version. I'm building my first PC and am on somewhat of a budget, so I'm interested in the OEM version of Windows 7. However, since this is my first build I don't really want to go down this route if it is more difficult to install than the standard retail version - is this the case?
I don't really mind about the single install only thing, as by the time I upgrade my mobo we'll probably be well into Windows 8, and the lack of manuals etc. doesn't bother me too much either as I'm usually OK with installs without using manuals. It's just the actual install process I'm worried about.
Thanks a bunch!

). Or if you upgrade the machine you're building significantly you can sometimes have trouble with an OEM license since it may be deemed by Microsoft to be a new machine - with the retail license you can transfer the license to the "new" machine.
