Well even then you would be moving your current hard drive to another computer, assuming you don't have the actual installation disk of windows, which wouldn't work.

windows 8 oem is at frys atm for 85 bucks. it's what i'm getting.

if you have windows on a different computer, you can't just take it and put it into a new one, unless you had a retail disk.

Well you can't use a computer without an OS, lol.

So yes, assuming you don't know how to operate Linux, you would be using Windows so put aside $100 on your build for the OS

[shyGriff]

a monkey could put together a computer wtf are you on

ive never actually tried putting together a computer but it sounds confusing as a hamster flying a biplane into a news reporters ghost causing a forest fire

But Im not asking about that
Do you understand?

OS is operating system, like windows is an operating system, so it's an OS

I hate when that happens.

If you don't want to shell out money for Windows, Linux is always available for free.

also to koopa, i would get linux, but it isn't exactly prime for gaming ;c

It's not prime, but it's still an alternative.

I updated that build I made with this RAM so it costs like $5 less
