  Yes.  More likely you qualify for level to Windows 8 If you had Windows 7 (Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, are all eligible to upgrade.)  Just OS level determines what you will be able to keep for an upgrade).

• From what I read, if I buy a commercial version full of windows 7, I am not eligible for the upgrade of $14.95 to windows 8 in about 6 months.

  I'm about to buy a computer with 16 GB of memory. I'll of course need a 64 bit OS, it looks like a good time to switch to windows 7, XP. But windows 7 seems to have a very short life span. The OEM version is eligible for a special download offer upgrade $ 14.95 to windows 8 that seems due Q1 2013, but it seems that the retail version is not eligible for this offer? Like many people I do not upgrade OS every time is out. But why would I pay for an OS which is replaced in 6 months?

  Huh?

  14.99 reduction is a limited offer in time when you buy a new computer between June 2, 2012 and on January 31, 2013, with Windows 7. By October 26, 2012, the PC of all major manufacturers will come preloaded with Windows 8. The thing, it is likely to be the inventory on the market with Windows 7 for a while of OEM brand. If a consumer buys one of them, they should have the eligibility for the upgrade of Windows 8.

  Of course, you can buy the new computer with Windows 7 pre-loaded, acquire the Windows 8 upgrade what becomes availalable and install it at your leisure and activate it whenever you're ready.

  Yes, the retail version of Windows 7 is not eligible for the upgrade 14.99 discount, but you can get an updated copy of Windows 8 Pro for 39.99 beginning October 26, 2012 and ending on January 31, 2013.

• I will be eligible for the upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 8?

  OK, so I have a Dell PC with Windows 7, but there are LOTS of screenshots.

  Well, here it is:

  1. it is a laptop computer Dell Latitude D620, manufactured in June 2005 and in almost continuous use since then. It is still surprisingly running at full pace without any sign of imminent death, the only thing replaced after being the DVD drive by me a few months ago. However, it was for a reason any sold by some obscure computer store in Oregon that no longer exists with... you guessed it... Windows 98! Even if it was a PC brand new with a processor to 3.6 Ghz, 2 GB of RAM and a 80 GB HDD. Someone managed to get 98 supporting NTFS and multiple core processors, as well as all access modern ports.

  2. between yesterday and today, it has changed hands 3times & 1/2. I say 1/2 because it belonged to a mobile commerce rental service. It has been upgraded from windows 98 through the different versions (Millennium, 2000, XP, XP MC) almost as soon as he leaves the plateau. He never had the OEM OS, NEVER, my best guess would be XP Media Center 2005.

  3. when I bought it in March 2011 for $250 on Ebay, it was XP SP3 on it, which I suppose is reasonably close to the OEM and oddly, Netscape Navigator. I immediately updated for Firefox and Chrome (I was taught to hate IE by father of Ubuntu 11.04 - running, he has always not has not upgraded to 11.10 or 12.04 LTS because he does not like she went from Gnome to the complete unit for a more mobile sensation). After about 6 months with the thing, I decided to use the old Vista Pro my dad drive to improve and maintain my stuff and do the same thing in Vista to 7.

  4. I got the Windows 7 Ultimate key off one of these as a reward online survey companies, the insertion of a Windows 7 box was in an envelope in my mailbox the next day. I put it in my computer and it worked for awhile, but it threw an error "you must activate Windows" less than a month. I called Microsoft support and managed to get a free replacement.

  So basically, it of really old (but still able to catch up with modern computers), changed hands a ridiculous amount of time, had a case upgrade and friends-letting-you-use-their-disc-for-free history that calibrated before the Millennium, was sold by a company that no longer exists with a tweak hack and possible root of an obsolete OS without reason that definitively cancelled the guarantee , crossed 2 FREE Windows 7 product keys, no one can find the original license or serial number and still less the person who actually bought the damn thing, AND the kitchen sink!

  My question is, I'll be eligible for the Windows 7-8 upgrade, not, or is there no way to know even at this stage? Thanks, any help would be appreciated.

  NOTE: Most of this information came from a complete history, I bought from the seller (who happened to have a scanned copy of each receipt, label, box and contract of prior to the time of thanks to God, even if I don't think that he could get this info legally or easily) for $ 20 as a result of a non-ebay transaction.

  This blog says MS that you are entitled to upgrade to Windows 8 Pro for $ 39.99 it aims just have Win7 without making any reference to upgrade history.

• Aspire S3-391-604 with Win8 eligible for Win10?

  I have an Acer Aspire S3-391-6046 and wonder if she is eligible for a free upgrade of Windows 10?  (i.e. was the stock Windows 8.1 installed with the PC actually win RT 8.1?) How will I know?

  Thank you

  Jim

  jlandwehr61,

  The system in question is not on the list of eligible of Acer models, but this does not mean that it cannot be upgraded. What this means, is that acer will not provide support for pilot for the upgrade to Windows 10. In fact, I upgraded one of our portable S3-391 here for Windows 10 use and it works great.

• Sign up for Windows 10 upgrade without applying it again?

  Hello world

  I have a problem where I just built a new computer; However, some parts are a bit Pluss to enjoy a very powerful hardware, which is now on sale for a few cents on the dollar. My plan was always to run it as a workstation running as a dual boot of Windows 10 Pro combined with Ubuntu.

  The problem is that, at least currently, 10 Windows doesn't seem to work on this computer. I ruled out problems with the hardware by performing various tests of memory and heavy benchmarks of CPU/GPU and other parts. In addition, Windows 7 Pro and Linux are completely solid and stable on my machine. It's only 10 in Windows that has a problem. I'm stuck in a situation where even if I own a copy of Windows 7 Pro and WANT to upgrade to Windows 10, I can not actually complete the process.

  It is the question of the title play. Is there a way to get the Windows 10 now upgrade without the application/install, so that I can improve in the future when I hope some driver issue causing failure gets sorted?

  Just in case a person pick up trying to solve my problem of upgrade, I should probably know you what I got. Otherwise, it is unnecessary to read below this line.

  This isn't a case of non-compliant to the minimum requirements. The uses of machines Dual Xeon E5 - 2670 s. So he has 16 cores / 32 threads clocked at 2.6 GHz to 3.3 GHz after turbo, 16 GB RAM, GPU GTX 1070 and a ton of space extra drive since the new SSD that contains the operating system is almost completely empty. This is probably in the ballpark of 50 times as a powerful calculating some of the lowest Atom based 2-in-1 pills I have Windows 10 running with no problems.

  I could install Windows Pro 10 separately, on the clean machine it installing directly from a USB key. Fortunately, I decided to test it out first and was not actually paid to activate it again. 10 Windows systematically planted within approximately 20 minutes to reach the office. Sometimes he would break within seconds or boot even not completely. No combination of drivers that I could install doesn't seem to make much of one difference other than upgrading the motherboard Intel Chipset fichier.inf that actually of much worse things. I tried to reinstall Windows 10, change all the options in the BIOS I could think, removing every extra piece of hardware and even disable the on-board motherboard RAID cards just so that I wouldn't have to install the drivers for them. Windows 10 crashes still in safe mode. The only consistent errors in the event viewer for each accident spoke of Windows not be shut down properly.

  Windows 7 Pro worked perfectly the first time. I thought that maybe an upgrade of Windows 7 could get a little better since it began with the basic drivers might be different. However, my guess is that the upgrade process should run on a basis of different software that the clean install because the upgrade always results in a random crash (different locations each time) which means of course that do the upgrade is impossible.

  If anyone has any ideas on the upgrade that I have not tried, I'm all ears. However, I think I hit all the low-lying fruit, so I just want to know if there is a way to register for the upgrade so that I can try it again a year or two from now when maybe they will have addressed the issue.

  I think whats causing the upgrade to fail is the complexity of the installation itself.

  Unfortunately, Windows 10 must be installed and enabled to take advantage of the free upgrade.

  There is one way, you might be eligible for it.

  "It seems that the"Run as Administrator"command gives you administrative privileges only, and they are not enough to install Java (and OpenOffice, by association).
