Windows 8 Upgrade Offer Now Available!

Microsoft has sure got a winner in Windows 8. Unlike previous iterations, there aren’t many editions of the operating system. In fact, general customers get to choose from just two Windows 8 editions. But Microsoft has sweetened the deal this time around. Instead of pricing their operating system exorbitantly (we’re looking at you Windows 7 Ultimate), Windows 8 is rumored to be priced much lower than earlier. However, for people who’ve bought a new computer with Windows 7 Home Basic, Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional or Windows 7 Ultimate in the period of June 2, 2012 to January 31, 2013 will be able to upgrade to Windows 8 Pro for just 14.99$ and in India it’s just Rs. 699! This Windows 8 upgrade offer will be valid until February 28, 2013.

Of course, even other users of Windows can upgrade to Windows 8. Until January 21, 2013 there will be two ways to upgrade from any earlier Windows versions. One will cost 69.99$ and the other will cost 39.99$. The process of upgrading from Windows 7 will be the easiest where all personal files, apps and settings will be preserved. Those upgrading from Windows Vista will find that only their settings and files will be intact. Users upgrading from Windows XP will have to make do with pretty much a fresh install, only personal files like documents and such will be preserved. Windows 7 Starter and Basic edition users will have to buy the complete upgrade and won’t be able to avail the promotional upgrade offer.
