Hi guys!
This might be anything from a simple question to a complicated dilemma:
Currently I have Win 7 Professional, acquired 2½ years ago from MSDNAA (?). I've just bought myself a new motherboard, HDD and CPU. I was thinking about upgrading to Win 8 at the same time as I'm doing my upgrade.
- However -
Since my Win 7 was acquired via MSDNAA, I don't think I'm allowed to install it on a new HDD with a new motherboard (it might be considered OEM?).
Will I be able to download the win 8 upgrade and do a clean install on my new HDD? Or will they force me to do the upgrade directly on the HDD where my current win 7 is?
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated
