| If i buy a new laptop on amazon.co.uk now, will it come with a free upgrade to Windows 7? It doesnt say anything on the site, but do they have an obligation to distribute windows 7 to people who but a vista laptop now? Laptops & Notebooks - 4 Answers People's Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions : Answer 1 : It only applies to certain models, so you would have to look up the model on the manufacture site of the computer and see if that model applies for a free upgrade to windows 7. You wouldn't be getting the upgrade through amazon, it would be coming striaight from the manufacture of the computer. Answer 2 : the upgrade would be Cheap like 10 bucks... But not be free.... If you are a student... i would recommend going to the engineering building in your university and asking them for a copy of windows 7... They are usually Very Cheap like 50 bucks... for a legit copy... But i won't recommend buying from amazon... You want to test the laptop out before you buy... Go to a local Store and look for laptops with Windows 7 On it... get a feel for it... i am sure you would love it... But Amazon won't give you windows & for free... I am pretty sure about that... until and unless it mentions when you are buying the product... . Answer 3 : If the seller does not mention free windows 7 upgrade then you will not get. Better to confirm with the seller before you buy. Answer 4 : No, they don't have an "obligation." Only some models from some manufacturers are eligible. In most cases, you need to obtain the upgrade via the manufacturer. Check the website of whoever manufactured the laptop to see if it's eligible. Also keep in mind that refurbished models and/or things with Vista Home Basic installed automatically *aren't* eligible the vast majority of the time. And remember you have to register for the upgrade. It's not something they send to you automatically, and in most cases they're going to charge you shipping for it. |
