oem versions are not locked to a motherboard, cpu, or anythign else. and having to contact microsoft, if needed, is nothing more than telling your product id code to a machine and it telling you what to ype in the boxes in the dialog window. that complete process may take 2 minutes at the most. i use technet these days, like jafo (i'm pretty sure i'm the guy who told paul about technet), but i had used oem builds for years. every machine i build for customers uses an oem build and if the pers

hitting F8 at start-up on some newer boards will bring up the boot order menu. on other boards, F2, F10, or F12 will do the same. to get to safe mode, one needs to wait until the motherboard "info page" and list of drives passes and then hit F8. that will bring up a menu of boot options for Windows. safe Mode will be at the top of the list.
