help with Windows 8.1 Pro System Builder OEM!

[MrPGamingInc]

So im building a new gaming pc, but i will also be using it for school stuff so I want the pro version (in which i assume comes with microsoft office). so does the OEM System Builder version of Windows 8.1 Pro work the same? (I know that the OEM version of Windows can only stay with one motherboard)

Pro doesn't come with microsoft office. You have to buy it separately. Just get the normal version.
Window 8 license is different. You should be able to reuse it as long you only using it on one PC and not installed on another at the same time.

Unless you really need the few extra features, there is no reason for Win 8 Pro.

Joining a domain, hosting RDC, BitLocker.
And Office is a whole other product. It does not come with the Windows OS.

Well im dum , thank you for the advice!

Technically you are in violation of license to install system builder's license and to use for personal use. Alsp the Pro version allows you to use Hyper-V bitlocker for data encryption and some other network. Office is no part of any version of Windows.
