• How to tell if Windows is for sale at retail or OEM?

  I'm looking to install a new motherboard and processor in my PC, but I was told that the license for Windows 7 is assigned to the motherboard, so if I have an OEM version it will not work with the new parts. Unfortunately I lost my Windows 7 disc, if I still have the product key and product ID. Can someone tell me how I would know if my version is retail or OEM please? I heard that the OEM letters appear in the product ID, if it's an OEM version (which is not in my case), is that correct? Finally, as I have lost the disc, can I download a copy of Windows 7 and use my product key?

  Thanks in advance for any help!

  Hello

  Why do you think that someone is watching your computer use? One would have to have
  loaded tracking software (trojan) on your computer or have access to the source of the network
  you use, such as cable, on your leg of it and have very sophisticated equipment.

  If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to

  resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be harder to detect as
  the cause.

  No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
  to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
  its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
  extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.
