It's a brand new computer and hdd. Is this the right windows? http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/en_US/pdp/Windows-8/productID.264951000
It says "upgrade from vista or xp users". So I can't use it?

No, you need a retail or OEM copy. Not an upgrade.

You can find it cheaper in a retail store though.

Nope , that requires a previous OS because it's an upgrade , here's what you need.
