What is the difference between this and "Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64bit (OEM) System Builder DVD 1 Pack" ???

7 Home Premium is a 32 and 64 bit package, (2 discs). It is for the do it yourself person that builds their own. It can be transferred to another computer limited times. Example: I had one that was used every day, 3 years, finally became unusable. The next I built and used the OS from the latter. OEM: These are what retailers and builders use in their products, and add other software to it. They also have to provide support for the systems, example Dell. The OEM is "married" to the computer it is installed in, used only for that system and will not be genuine in any other. If it is installed in any other, Microsoft will not support it. IE. no up dates , nothing. You are also supposed to have a builders certificate to purchase this. Why this package is available to the public I do not know, with the restrictions it has. The price as you can see is taller for the full version.

It's true that both versions are supposed to be available on the same disc. Supposedly it should ask you on the first screen whether you want to install the 64bit or 32bit version after it checks to see if you have a 64bit processor. Otherwise it just gives the option for 32bit installation.

NP700G7C-S01US use to indicate that it had Windows 7 on it. What it means now is beyond me because the specs are the same!

Mine came with "Home Premium". If you go to microsoft they are offering an upgrade to 8 for about $40

It's just a drivers/utility DVD. The Windows 7 install DVD must be created via the recovery partiton (4 DVD's to burn!). And it will only restore the partition & Windows to their factory state (all other info on the drive will be destroyed.)

I got mine with Windows 7 3 months ago. you can get either version. Just need to look at the specs

I think mine shipped Win7 Home x64 - so you could wipe out the entire HD/OS and reinstall with x86, but it would be quite a task if you weren't savvy.

Hi, I believe you are referring to the OEM versions marked as SP1? OEM versions are not equivalent to retail versions as they do not come with transfer rights; you may not move your installation to a new computer. Also, most of the Win 7 items on this listing will be SP1 as both SP1 and non-SP1 Windows 7 retail are the same part number. Hope this helps!

You meant to ask, if it is 1- OEM for builders 2- Retail Version Answer is "1" the OEM Retail versions are bought only to attain some pathetic and useless Microsoft support incident.

According to Microsoft's website: "With the System Builder version, much like the copies provided with new computers, a Windows installation is limited to a single machine." However, based on the experience of commentor extreme_dig_cm, Microsoft apparently is much more lenient in license transferral with the System Builder version than with copies provided with new computers.

Mine came with a SAMPLE, after a certain amount of time you got to BUY it. As most computers I bought had over the years. I started off with Windows 98SE. Mine at least came with the Win. 8.1 Already Installed. (Although I bought from DIG JUNGLE, so not sure what this seller has). I got the CD/DVD Drive FIXED by Dell Now I am Loving my Purple Animal.

Perfect. It is 32-bit with all the details as specified by Amazon. I specifically bought 3 units from 3 different sellers from the Amazon Marketplace. Slightly different prices and delivery, but all worked well immediately; needed WinXP pro updates and anti-virus protection. Also, all have OpenOffice already installed. (See this link for details, http://www.openoffice.us.com/). I didn't use it because my customer prefers and had the software for Microsoft Office 2003 which they installed and it works well also. I needed these units because of other proprietary software which was designed for WinXPpro-32bit and wouldn't work with Win 7 OS; these PCs worked perfectly with the required additional software.

I actually found a newer model with the core 2 solo that ships with Windows 7 64-bit installed. Windows 7 is awesome and the system really flys. I still have the stock 2 gigs of ram.

Re-install Windows 7 Home Premium from your DVD, validate its license, then apply the Anytime Ultimate Upgrade code. If your hardware has changed (e.g.: your old PC died) you will have to talk to one of those hard to reach Microsoft Support people.
