I recently installed Windows7 Home Premium 64bit edition in bootcamp. Mike
is right, the upgrade won't work - it requires an existing windows version.
I don't know what the difference between OEM and Commercial versions is
exactly, but I bought the full commercial copy. I believe, that OEM, is for
Origional Equipment Manufacturers and is a special type of liscence that may
or may not work for bootcamp.
Again, I'm not sure, but I'd be careful about buying an OEM copy if you
don't know definitely if it'll work for bootcamp.
The bootcamp documentation says something about this.

Okay, I will do that. Thanks.

I would not get the upgrade, usually this requires that a previous version
of windows be installed. One thing you might look for is an OEM version,
these are usually much cheaper, they just don't include support or
documentation.

Hi all,
I need to set up bootcamp on the MB Air since it will be my
general-purpose demonstration machine - I have to be able to show both
Mac and Windows, and I think Bootcamp is the best way to go. I'm on
Newegg and I see Windows 7 Home Premium for $200 or Windows 7 Home
Premium Upgrade for $120. What's the difference, and which should I get
to use with Bootcamp?
As an aside, if I partition my ssd and later realize I need more room on
one partition or the other, can I resize the two without destroying the
data on one or both? I have visions of installing all the demo software
(jaws, office, and so on) and running out of space on Windows. Thanks.
Have a great day,
Alex (msg sent from Mac Mini)
