[QUOTE="martyp, post: 1650292, member: 61183"] Chances are it will actually install fine, the issue you may have is when it comes to activating the license with Microsoft. There is nothing wrong with purchasing an OEM copy of Windows (with a hardware component - HDD etc), as that is exactly what I have done however, this was a Microsoft OEM DVD for system builders. It cost a little more and is still limited to '1' machine (unlike retail copies which you can transfer from computer to computer as/when you upgrade) but I know it is fully legit and haven't ever ran into problems. Not sure where you live, assuming US, so here is a Amazon link to a copy I would buy in your situation. [URL="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00H09BB16/?tag=macforums0e4-20"]Link[/URL] Hope that helps.
