It is OK for you to install an OEM version and/or a Retail version.

The difference between them is that the OEM version is tied to the computer
that it is 1st installed on; whereas with the Retail Version, it can be
transferred to another computer if the 1st comp dies!

Also, with OEM versions, there is no support from microsoft.
Any probs(like stuff posted here), you have to solve yourself, or come here,
When you think about it, just WHAT support does anybody get from MS or Dell,
HP, etc, lol.
