Can I install an education version of Windows 7? I believe it is a direct download only rather than a disk. Does that make a difference?

Can I install an education version of Windows 7? I believe it is a direct download only rather than a disk. Does that make a difference? What I have read about installing Windows on a Mac always mentions using a disk.


Thanks.

Thanks for the response Bob.


By "education version" I meant Windows purchased with the education discount offered to students. It is the same version of Windows available to any one but it is discounted, and (I believe) available as a download rather than on disk. However, I see that in the past a disk could be purchased for an addition $13.


I wondered if the disk was necessary for a Boot Camp installation or if a downloaded version would work just as well. To tell the truth, I haven't even been able to determine with certainty that MS is still offering the student discount.
