I am specifically interested in Retail versions of the OS. I have read this question and this question on the site, but they are both quite old, so I was wondering if anything had changed in the meantime.

Basically, if I buy a retail copy of Windows 7 from Amazon UK, can I then use it and activate it in another European country?

  • @and31415 thanks for the links :) I suppose then that "standard" versions of Windows (Home Premium, Professional etc) can be bought and used anywhere? – user1301428 Mar 14 '14 at 21:31
