Hi, hope someone can help.
Im looking to buy the laptop provided in the link as i think its a very good price for a core duo laptop.
However it comes with Vista Basic and I want Home premium.
Where is the cheapest place I can order a upgrade? Windows anytime?

Contact ebuyer and ask them:
For further assistance on choosing your Laptop you can call us Monday to Friday 9am-7pm on 0872 111 22 22 or email [EMAIL="presales@ebuyer.com"]presales@ebuyer.com[/EMAIL]
Otherwise check the likes of Aria, Dabs, Scan, Misco etc.0 -
Windows Anytime is as good as anywhere. If you've got an installation DVD already, you don't need the Anytime Upgrade DVD as all versions of Vista are on the same disk and what gets installed is determined by the CD Key.
Just a note - make sure it's got 1GB of RAM in.0 -
Does anyone have any idea how much the Anytime upgrade costs from Basic - Premium?
I only ask because this laptop is same spec but with Home Premium for £350.

Nice well balanced critique there...
If you're going to make staements like that you could at least provide some evidence to back it up.It's my problem, it's my problem
If I feel the need to hide
And it's my problem if I have no friends
And feel I want to die0 -
You could get the OEM of Home premium from eBuyer as you are buying kit from there anyway
