I built my PC a while back, and my friend installed Windows 7 for me, free of charge. (*SPOILER ALERT*) Turns out it wasn't a "genuine copy" of Windows 7. So now, when I turn my PC on, I am reminded I am using a non-genuine version and that I should upgrade to a genuine version. Instead of going with 7, I want to install 8. How would I go about doing this? Do I buy an upgrade to 8, or do I buy OEM?
