So, my advice is just spring for the retail version and spare yourself any hassles and headaches down the road. I'll go through at least one Mac upgrade during its useful life, if not more.īy the way, you can sometimes get away with telling an OEM copy on install that you have "upgraded" hardware even though it is actually a completely different computer but I would not count on this always working.
A lot of games don't even require DirectX 10 yet, never mind DirectX 11, so again, Windows 7 has a long life ahead of it for a gamer at least. I expect Windows 7 is going to have a long life, like XP has, as user adoption of Windows 8 has been abysmal - worse than Windows Vista so far. It was more money but I purchased Windows 7 retail myself so that when I get my next iMac, it won't be a problem to continue using it. There is a difference and people often seem to not be aware of this. A retail version, you are free to install and remove and reinstall elsewhere as you see fit. The OEM version is intended for system builders, including enthusiasts at home building their own PCs to install on those systems for their useful life and that is it. And it’s about time that you play this game if you haven’t already. However, being one of the most popular eSports titles in the world, it finally went free back in 2018. If you get a new Mac and want to use it again, you are likely to have problems because Windows will as usual phone home on install to validate and notice the hardware is not the same anymore. For a long time, CS:GO had to be kept off the list of free Mac games because it wasn’t a free-to-play title. An important consideration in choosing the OEM version is that unlike the retail version which costs more, it is tied to the one system it is originally installed on.
