Hello,
Two reputable sources i would rather deal with NewEgg
And Tiger Direct
There is a company also called Digital River where you may be able to download this, but i am not sure of it anymore, you can google it more to see.
You never specified if you wanted 32 bit or 64 bit, Home or Professional versions, and make sure later on get all the updates (service packs).
Google is a good resource, always research whatever you do with a PC.
Good Luck!

Yes, I've look at both Tiger Direct and NewEgg. Wasn't quite sure if there was a CoA that came with the OS and if I could just install an OEM version on my own PC without being a retailer. I do want the Home 64-bit version. I have an ASUS M/B (P5Q SE) with an Intel Core 2 Duo E7400 CPU.

Not sure if i know exactly what you are saying, Sure there versions should have a certificate of authenticity ,these are OEM versions.
Or if your asking will they work on installation on your PC.
You do have to be careful where you do purchase it, i felt these companies are reputable, mostly OEM are meant for System Builders.
Tell you for the cost of Windows 7 still, i would go with Windows 8.1 be ahead of the technology.
But that is your choice.

Thanks jds63. I'm always sucking hind tit when it comes to Microsoft's OS. I'll wait for WIN 9 or whatever before going to WIN 8.1 or whatever

Yes, I want to be careful where I purchase, that's why I had asked for a reputable retailer. I want to be sure I get a Product ID that will be valid when I activate it on Microsoft's website.
You'd be best off buying the full version and not an OEM version. The price should be about the same.

Maybe I'm not looking hard enough or I just didn't see it. Where did you see a full version of WIN 7 Home Premium 64bit?
Thanks!

You will find it very hard to find Windows 7 Pro, boxed Retail from a reputable outlet, and it is getting harder to source Windows 5 Home Premium, boxed Retail.

Microsoft Windows OS, OEM ver. license, once installed on a system and activated, is tied to the MB and may not normally be then installed on another system/MB,
Microsoft Windows OS, Retail ver. licence, can be used on a different system/MB but only one instance at a time,
There is also a difference in the amount of RAM that is recognizedin different versions. > http://msdn.microsof...a366778(v=vs.85).aspx
