    Windows 7
    I want to buy Windows 7 that I can use on 2 computers.

    I found this site that's selling it for $70 but that low price scares me:
    https://www.realbuysoftware.com/soft...ml?subid=27327

    1. What should I expect to pay for a legit version of Windows 7 that I can use on 2 computers?

    2. Do you know a good and reliable source for it?

    Thanks!

    Yes you should be scared. Windows OS's never get discounted like that unless they are pirated.

    A good source? Here you go: Newegg.com - Operating Systems, Microsoft Windows 7, Win 7 Ultimate, Win 7 Pro, Win 7 Premium, Windows Vista, Microsoft Windows XP, Win 7 Upgrade.

    Thanks, NK. I'll check out Newegg.

    On a side note: I PM'd you recently and did not hear back from you. Check your PMs. If you did not get it for some reason, PM me.

    That version is only for use for computers that will be sold with that version on it.

    I'm looking for a version that I can use to "format" a laptop with it.

    I've shopped around and am finding nowhere that sells the stand alone Windows 7 for under $200.

    Is that the best price that I can get for the stand alone (not upgrade) version?

    Here's the single license Full, Retail: Newegg.com - Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Full

    But a lot of people know that you only need the Upgrade version even to do a clean install: Clean Install Windows 7 With Upgrade Media and Product Key on Formatted or Empty Blank Hard Drive My Digital Life

    So basically, for 2 computers, this one would work for you: Newegg.com - Microsoft Windows 7 Family Pack/ Home Premium Upgrade - Retail 3 PCs

    Thank you, NK! I did not know that the upgrade version would work for a clean install (and, I presume, Format).
