Windows 8 upgrade

you are out of luck OEM only

I wonder if that covers Windows 7 OEM in a home build PC or only pre-build PC's

It sound like is for pre-build as it ask for a brand/model. But, since you build your home build already, it doesn't hurt to try.

I've got OEM Windows 7 from a university, so I'll probably try to do the Windows 8 for $15. I wonder, could I tell it to upgrade my Acer with Windows 7 and then just let that keep it's windows 7 and use the Windows 8 on my homebuilt? Or will it ask for the corresponding product-key on the Acer?

Not sure I'll be bothering with Windows 8 unless I can get it for 15 bucks... Maybe I can have a friend get it from school for $16 or so and just tell me the key...

According to the info :



So the installation can be used for any upgrade including a different system from the one that was purchased to qualify for the upgrade purchase as long as the other system already has XP SP3, Vista, or Win 7 !

MS has either changed the deal (Is that legal?) or we're talking about 2 different things. In July there was an announcement that any existing copy of Windows XP, Vista or 7 could be updated to Windows by 12/31/12 for $39.99,

What I see now is an upgrade for $14.99 on new PC's valid until February 28, 2013.

Has the original offer for upgrade of XP through Win 7 for $39.99 been revoked?

I was wondering the same thing. Not trying to hijack the thread, but I was going to do the 40 dollar upgrade and now I can't find it?
