Hi, yes you can. Buy windows 7 or 8.1, and do windows update after installation. You will get the get windows 10 icon on your notification, then you may proceed to upgrade. The advantage of buying windows 10 is you save time not having to perform an upgrade.

QUOTE(il0ve51 @ Dec 16 2015, 11:49 AM) Thx guys for answering. I think you would like to mean OEM VS. Retail version of windows? Functionally they are the same. It is just that OEM windows is attach to the PC you activate it and cannot be move to another PC. For retail version, you can transfer the licence to other PC as long as it run on one PC at a time. good if you are building your own PC. I used both version before now new pc prefer window 10. is there any difference on OEM vs Original Window. All can be upgrade right? how much is window 7 or window 8 in market price now for home edition? (budget tight here)  I think you hardly find windows 7 now, but still can try. Windows 8.1 will estimate around RM400 for home. |

base on this article, you can activate windows 10 with the windows 7, 8 or 8.1 product key as well. so don't have to perform upgrade.
