Question 1

Ok, so I have a macbook and I'm wondering when i do install it through bootcamp, does that mean all my things on the hard drive will be wiped clean?

Accepted Answer

No. you will have to create a disk partition to install windows on your mac. It will not wipe your Mac OS. Basically part of your HD will be dedicated to windows

Question 2

Is this the FULL version?

Accepted Answer

No.  It is not the full retail version, it is  for system builders only.  It is supposed to be used by computer builders on computers that are sold to someone else, not for themselves.  It is not supposed to be transferred to another computer,or, motherboard, even if you destroy the original.   That being said,microsoft will let you do a clean install a few times, it gets progressively harder each time.  It is "full" in the sense that it contains all the same features, it just can not be transferred(installed),unlimited times if you replace the motherboard every 6 months,like I do.

Question 3

can i use this windows 7, to upgrade from a windows 8. I really do not like windows 8 and i need help

Accepted Answer

You cannot use Windows 7 to upgrade Windows 8. An upgrade is where you install a higher level Windows operating system "over" a lower one.You CAN however use the Windows 7 operating system to do what is called a "clean install" or a newly installed operating system that will replace Windows 8.Unfortunately installing it in that way will require you to erase everything on your hard drive, so you have to back everything up then re-install the things you need/want after Windows 7 is installed.Software programs you want will have to be compatible with Windows 7 and be completely reinstalled as well. There are other options as well. There are programs you can install that will make Windows 8 look and act like Windows 7, like Startisback. This link to a PC Magazine article can help guide you through the conversion from Window 8 to Windows 7 http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2417359,00.asp

Question 4

How many computers can I load windows 7 home premium oem to?

Accepted Answer

You can only use one key # for each disc. make sure that you are not replacing windows 8. If so, many companys use a driver on 8 tat 7 cannot get a compatible driver. Toshiba got me and I lost $100 and then I had to buy a $55 dollar 8 fix disc. Please research before buying disc If upgrading you might have to buy other parts like ram and hard drive. talk to geeksquad at best buy and they can be honest or a local mom and pop store. they would be cheaper in a lot of cases. good luck and I hope you don't waste $150 like I did
