Downloading an OS for free.

AWPortunity · Apr 22, 2015

I am working on customizing a computer with Ibuypower. Don't laugh, I just don't trust myself with hardware enough to build my own. Anyway, I'm about done with it, but I've run into a problem.

I was wondering if there was a way to avoid paying $100+ for windows 8 and instead downloading it some other way.

No There is no way. Your only free options are Windows 10 Preview or Linux. Tom's Hardware does not support software piracy in any form. You should always take the cost of software into your budget considerations.

If you are signed up for Newegg.com's newsletter, they often have sales where you can get Windows 7 or 8.1 for $79.99. I got an email about a week ago with a code for Windows 7 Home Premium for that price.

Your title is misleading. I thought you were looking for a distro os like Ubuntu. If you're looking for Windows 8 for free only way i can think of if you're a college student you get perks like free ms office and probably windows. Downloading windows 8 for free? That question is very sketchy I don't think you can find a free windows 8 to download not legally anyways.

Consider this alternate statement:
"I was wondering if there was a way to avoid paying $100+ for 16GB RAM and instead getting it some other way"

The OS is just as much a part of the system as anything else. Buy it.
