Cheapest Windows 7

[Deleted User]

Anyone know who is currently the lowest price for Windows 7 Home Premium?

I'm wanting to upgrade my trusty Netbook from Windows XP. Which I can't re-install as it has no optical drive and every time I try with a USB drive it always fails.

I have been looking for W7 too as I also want to update my wife's netbook from XP. The cheapest I have seen is on eBay, it seems to go for about £45 - £50. If anyone has seen it cheaper I would be very interested to hear about it!

Are you getting errors when installing?

Yes, files fail to copy over etc. Or if not that, I get stuck in a reboot loop with it trying to boot of USB again.

Edit: I'm only wanting to upgrade/re-install XP because I had to replace the failed hard drive.

I've already successfully installed a (non legit) copy of Windows 7 to test but I'd rather have a legit copy for the long term use.

How did you put the files on the USB stick?

If you are, or know some one that is a student. Check out https://www.software4students.co.uk.

Usually cheap.

Using a "Win2USB" type boot utility.

Don't know any.

Found Windows 7 Home Premium 32bit OEM on eBay for £49.99. Cheapest so far.

So what you are looking for is a legal product key.
Do you have any friends that may have gone from Win 7 to 8 who may be willing to let you try their Win 7.

Win Pro for £39.99 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Microsoft-Windows-7-Professional-SP1-32bit-DVD-COA-licence-key-Pro-/160924380820?pt=UK_Computing_Software_Software_SR&hash=item2577d72e94

COA licence Certificate of Authenticity.. If you think it's genuine then go for it and it even gives you the option to make a offer.

You may be able to find it cheaper at a local computer fair if you have one nearby.

Brand and model number?

You can buy an optical drive for £10.
