Ahhhhhhhh, yes, I just noticed that you are located in the USA where Microsoft seems to get away with forcing computer dealers to preload an OS. They can not do that here. I just upgraded the main computer in my network and bought it with no OS installed, and then transferred the old license to it. Of course you can only do that with the retail license, and when you buy a computer with Windows already installed you usually end up with the nontransferable OEM license.
