 |
|
Is this available in Yongsan or will I have to buy the Korean version? I tried my luck on Gmarket, but I could only find the Korean version.
Any info is appreciated.
If the Korean version is the only one available, is the install all in Korean as well? Just wondering as I'm building a pc (my first time, yikes!) and it would be smoother if it was something I could fully understand. |

I'm pretty sure you can change the system language to english, during the installation as well. OR just buy the korean version, download the corresponding english version from somewhere and plug in the serial on the korean box during the install.
Yes, it's legal.

Or just go to the microsoft store in the terminal building at yongsan (the blue building across the tracks from yongsan station).
Walk across the pedway, you enter on the 3rd floor. The shop is the 2nd last one on your right as you go in.
Get the version you want.
You can get the OEM version (legal) from the software guy in the basement of the building next to seon-in plaza.

The one downloaded from Microsoft will give you nag screens and whatnot after 30? or is it 90? days. If you don't mind those then go ahead. You can find 'other' means to activate it and get rid of the nag screens, not elaborating here.
Buying the OEM version is probably the best, it'll be cheaper. Technically it's not supposed to be sold without a system, but nobody really bats an eyelid.  |

| I meant BUY it and download it from microsoft. Then there shouldn't be any nag screens as it's a legal copy. |
