Indeed. I was just checking on that this morning and I also see January 31 as the deadline.

* Offer valid from October 26, 2012 until January 31, 2013 and is for individuals and small businesses needing to upgrade up to five devices.
Before i buy can anyone let me know if they have had any compability issues with applications/software like there was when Win XP went to win 7 and half of the games around stopped working? Also as i use my pc for mainly games and watching movies is win 8 a worthwhile upgrade over win 7?

It depends if you are open minded enough to learn new ways of doing things, for the most part, if it works on windows 7, it should work on windows 8

You don't NEED a valid license. You can do a clean install with the DVD, and then "Upgrade" from Windows 8 Pro to Windows 8 Pro. Then just put in your key and it will be activated.

The most stupid part of promotion ? If you got a device with Windows 8, upgrading to Windows 8 Pro is 69 euros

You have 14 days of free return. Just call Microsoft - they can refund it for you.

Thanks for the heads up GoodBytes.
Whats the difference between the £25 and £15 offer? Im a little confused - I bought an OEM copy of windows 7 and built a PC between the dates specified, does this mean I qualify for the £15 offer or does it need to be a ready build system with W7 on to qualify? Either way I expect I will pick up the upgrade.

There is no difference. Try the 15 pound offer... if it gets rejected, simply get the 25 pound one.

No theres a good idea!
![]() I see there is a Windows Upgrade Assistant available that will scan your current PC and report any compatiblity issues with your current installed programs etc... http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/w...e-to-windows-8 Might be worth running for those thinking of ugrading and want to avoid any issues.
