shanenin Posted June 18, 2009 Report Share Posted June 18, 2009 I have a client who wants a new computer. He wants it soon with Vista, but he is concerned about getting a free Windows 7 upgrade. I have a new unopened oem Vista Premium disc to use, but what are the requirements for the upgrade?. I read somewhere after July first all computers purchased with Vista do qualify for the free upgrade. Does that mean I need to buy a new OEM copy after July First. Any insight on the procedure would be helpful. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bozodog Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 Hey Shane! First off congrats on your free blog entry for the company. (we had one too) Have you contacted MS directly? All should be ok, since "ownership" is taken by registering the key. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pete_C Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 I think the "free upgrade" will require a "special version" of Vista or a special certificate with key ; not just any copy you purchase.http://channel.hexus.net/content/item.php?item=18965http://www.tomshardware.com/news/windows-7...grade,7018.htmlhttp://blogs.zdnet.com/microsoft/?p=3109&tag=nl.e589http://blogs.zdnet.com/microsoft/?p=2942&tag=nl.e589http://blogs.zdnet.com/microsoft/?p=1791It appears it will be a deal where you register your purchase and desire for a windows 7 upgrade with the manufacturer and they ship you an upgrade DVD when it is available.
