I too am in this situation, interested in knowing what you did.

Can anyone who has gone through this transition tell me where I can get a cheap but legal copy of Windows or have one they can sell on the cheap I need games.

Bootcamp Game License From Your

Can anyone who has gone through this transition tell me where I can get a cheap but legal copy of Windows or have one they can sell on the cheap I need games Windows OEM licenses arent transferable between hardware (theyre linked to the first machine theyre installed on), so you cant use the Windows license from your Alienware machine, if its the license that came with it from Dell.

New Windows OEM licenses (which you can use for Bootcamp) usually run around 100-130ish from reputable sellers (i.e.

Amazon or Newegg themselves) depending on SKU; you might be able to find something cheaper if youre willing to risk eBay or third party sellers on Amazon.

I just want to be legit and not be running anything grey market.

I should note, I wont have an optical drive on the mac and not very much longer as I want to offload this pc asap.

BootCamp seems to require an iso, would I have to create that on my pc and then somehow transfer it to my iMac.

Before Windows 8, Systems Builder versions of Windows had this text: Quote: OEM system builder software packs are intended for PC and server manufacturers or assemblers ONLY.

Unless the end user is actually assembling hisher own PC, in which case, that end user is considered a system builder as well.

Are you adding RAM to your Mac Thats definitely some version of assembling.

Its going after large scale licencing errors and businesses that abuse the system.

Just buy from a reputable seller, or Microsoft directly, and youll be fine.

At some point, I will buy a proper license and activate it, but life just got suddenly busy and I havent had time to mess with it.

It is really only for games, so it is definitely not a priority at this point.

I think I can live with getting the system builder license, so when the time comes, I will purchase that.

Everything was fine, but as noted above customization was unavailable.

Bootcamp Game Windows 7 Product Key

A few days later, I thought what the heck, entered my old OEM Windows 7 product key, and tried activation.

It worked. My system is activated now.

Just install Windows 10, dont put a product code in, run that tool after install, it upgrades your version of Windows 10 to the newest build, and youre good to go.
