Most of my decision making was the result of reviews from here (desertcart) and forums on tomshardware.com. -NZXT Guardian 921 RB ATX Mid Tower Case, Black 921RB-001-BL -Intel Core i5-3570K -Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit -EVGA GeForce GTX760 SuperClocked w/ACX Cooler (02G-P4-2765-KR) -Corsair Vengeance Blue 8GB (2x4 GB) (CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9B) -Gigabyte Intel Z77 LGA 1155 (GA-Z77X-UD3H) -OCZ Technology Fatal1ty 750W (OCZ-FTY750W) -Intel RTS2011LC Liquid-Cooling Kit -Samsung 840 SSD 500GB (MZ-7TD500BW) -D-Link AirPlus DWL-G520 Wireless PCI Adapter(rev.B) Boot up is less than 10 seconds from power button to login. At resolution 1920x1200 with most settings on high (using NVidia GeForce Experience recommendations) gameplay is smooth and pretty with Assassins Creed IV, League of Legends, Rage, Path of Exile, Diablo 3, StarCraft 2, & Heroes of the Storm. All the fans are not loud at all and go unnoticed with the box under my desk. The lights look awesome from the fans, psu, & Intel CPU cooler. The case has 3 thermometers labeled for CPU, HDD, and SYS. They make for a nice LED display on the front but placing them in the case is a little tricky. I use HWMonitor to watch temps and so far nothing has gone over 55 Celcius. Gigabyte has some proprietary software w/ their motherboard. I have attempted the auto overclocking program labeled EasyTune but have not had much luck with it. Ended up keeping CPU at it's original 3.4 GHz since there isn't really a need to push it more than that currently. In the future I may try manually overclocking in the BIOS. The BIOS is extremely easy to navigate and has a plethora of configuration options and adjustable parameters. Overall, system works flawlessly and is everything I wanted with the potential for easy upgrading in the future. Hope this helps if anyone is shopping around and doing some research. Review: Fantastic Upgrade from Vista...... - ......but you already knew that. I loaded this Windows 7 version onto a Corsair 90 GB SSD in an almost 5 year old HP DV7-1200US laptop. It runs very well, restarting (from clicking restart to being back at the desktop) in 60 seconds and booting from a completely powered down state to the desktop in about 40 (although I can't necessarily say how much of that speed is due the the SSD and how much is due to the OS itself). Regardless, I've been very pleased with its performance, in terms of both speed and smoothness of operation. Menus load almost instantaneously and programs run without the frequent hitches and hiccups of Vista. I cannot speak of nor recommend this OS highly enough. Another reviewer (user EvilOzzness who posted on the "Old Standard Packing" edition of this page for this version) seems to believe that since this is the OEM version of Win 7, once you install it onto a computer, you can never change any hardware components of the computer without breaking/locking the OS. He cites an excerpt from the EULA provided by Microsoft for OEM or "System Builder" versions of Win 7 as well as personal experience trying to replace a broken HDD as his reasoning. However, reassured by the advice of friends and other reviewers, I installed my copy and then added both a new 500 GB Western Digital HDD and 2x4GB of Samsung DDR2 RAM to my rig. This didn't seem to cause any problems. The new hardware installs occurred after official Windows activation of the OS and I never had any issues with it booting or running on any level. The review I'm referencing was written in late 2011, so maybe Microsoft altered that section of the EULA since then, or maybe EvilOzzness just interpreted the text incorrectly and his plight was due to some other unseen issue. So, if you were afraid this might happen to you, don't be (unless you need to change motherboards - OEM software should lock to motherboards, but only motherboards, not other hardware). In my experience, the fear is unwarranted. ## Features - NOTE: The product key is a 25-digit string with a hyphen between each 5 digits It will say "Product Key" before 25 digits or have an image of a key next to 10 digits with the remaining 15 on the next line below and this Product Key is generally located in the lower left corner of the DVD case, on the disc itself, or on a leaflet in the packaging you received - This operating system is eligible for a free upgrade to Windows 10 when available More details below - Start programs faster and more easily, and quickly find the documents you use most often - Make the things you do every day easier with improved desktop navigation - This OEM Windows product IS NOT an upgrade product This Windows product does not come with Microsoft support and requires a clean install, which is complicated and will not save anything currently on the computer ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00H09BB16 | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (2,771) | | Date First Available | May 18, 2012 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item model number | GFC-02733 | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | Microsoft | | Product Dimensions | 1 x 1 x 1 inches; 1.6 ounces | ## Images ![Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64bit System Builder OEM DVD 1 Pack - Frustration-Free Packaging - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61leNUfDBcL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: 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?** A: 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 **Q: Is this the FULL version?** A: 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. **Q: can i use this windows 7, to upgrade from a windows 8. I really do not like windows 8 and i need help** A: 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 **Q: How many computers can I load windows 7 home premium oem to?** A: 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 ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality Gaming PC! *by W***Z on April 27, 2014* Finally finished piecing together my new PC and gave it some time to test it out.

Mainly I use Windows to run Quicken (for which there's no GOOD Mac alternative anymore) and a few other things. I ran Windows XP-Pro in this role for some years and it was working just fine for my purposes. But, like most other users of good, old XP, I was feeling progressively cornered and forced to upgrade out of XP which Microsoft has just finally stopped supporting with security upgrades, etc. Rather than suffer the adjustment shock, learning curve, etc. of going to Windows8, I decided to upgrade to Windows7 and, though it's a "hands on" upgrade and took some work, I am very satisfied. Windows7 is a great program, a logical upgrade and progression from XP and very satisfactory. One nice benefit is that it is a whole lot more stable, and I see far fewer crashes and blue screens! Most folks found that out some years ago, but if you're like me and you're being forced out of XP, this is a very satisfactory way to go. And will be supported for some years to come yet, I understand. Also, when the time comes, the upgrade to 8 is supposed to be a lot easier! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/911016-microsoft-windows-7-home-premium-sp1-64bit-system-builder-oem](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/911016-microsoft-windows-7-home-premium-sp1-64bit-system-builder-oem) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-22*
