OEM = Original Equipment Manufacturer. This is the software that is used by Dell, Hp and the rest and comes pre-installed on your pre-built machines. If you buy it from places like Newegg it does not come with any boxes or instructions. It will be just the disc.
i thought the computer needed it preinstaled or something lol thats why i got confused. Cause the computer we bought has no OS on it what so ever yet.
