Windows 7 Ultimate Upgrade

Hodge4ever

Hi,

I'm currently running Windows XP and looking to upgrade (new build PC) to Windows Seven Ultimate. I've seen a copy on software4students for £57.99 and also seen a key (http://www.digital7heaven.com/ key only no disc) for £29.99.

Has anybody had any dealings with them? or can find me a better offer?

Thanks in advance - Matt

I've just opened my first can and in an hour's time I'll be too far gone to give coherent answers so I'll get your query out the way.

First of all never, ever buy from a website which doesn't have a traceable address and phone number on it. How do you contact them if something goes wrong? There's only an email address on that site.

Now have a look at this thread on PC Advisor from somebody who's just done exactly what you're contemplating doing.

As you know your website is only offering a key which means you have to have a disc to activate it, but how do you know that key is going to be unique to you?

I'll have a look around for Windows 7 deals. Back in a bit.

This is about the cheapest I can find which doesn't come from a dodgy dealer, but at £148 it is not cheap.

If you qualify for the Software for Students deal I suggest you go for that.

why would you want key only?

Thought so, thanks for that, though I should have checked it myself

I can borrow a disc, if it was cheaper to just get a key.


Looks like software4students (my sister is a student) it is then!
