Re: Where to find Windows 7 Pro download or DVD that is not OEM?

http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-FQC-00129-Windows-7-Professional/dp/B002DHLVII/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1375219416&sr=8-3&keywords=windows+7+professional

 

www.bhphotovideo.com also has it, and the upgrade edition.

 

And just for reference for other folks, or in case someone suggests downgrading Windows 8:  http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2832566

 

That article indicates something that I wasn't fully aware of - only copies of Win8 that were actually installed and delivered by an OEM pre-installed have downgrade rights.  I thought that you could buy a windows 8 system builder license and use that to downgrade, but that is not the case.  There is no retail version of Windows 8 that comes with downgrade rights.
