Which version of Windows do I need for installing on a PC I build?

[Blarg King]

So I just got the parts for my computer in, and I realized I forgot to buy a copy of Windows to put on it (Genius, I know). When I look at my local electronics store, they only carry Windows 8.1 Full Retail. Will the full retail version work for installing on a new computer?

Thanks!

yes, that will work just fine... just make sure its 64bit

Okay. Just got to double check. Microsoft is so stupid when it comes to all their OS versions.
