FOR THOSE WHO PURCHASED WINDOWS 7 PC BETWEEN JULY-DEC 2012

As mentioned in this deal http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/82947 last part of the description
that you can get windows 8 PRO for $14.99 by registering a "purchased" Windows 7 PC between certain dates

Well the good news is till 28/02/12 this is still working ! I tested myself after the $40 promo expired
at the checkout from windows upgrade assistant I added the promo code which I received from here https://www.windowsupgradeoffer.com/en-AU and it took off $385 from $399 to make it $14.99. Ended up buying 3 windows 8 Pro for 3 pcs at home. Please see picture I have uploaded

I hope this helps you all and you dont have to pay $399 for windows pro 8, however I am aware you can still pick up windows 8 for $50-$60 Office works and places like that. But this $14.99 :) :)

Method:

  • Go here https://www.windowsupgradeoffer.com/en-AU/Registration
  • Register, get promo code. will emailed within the hour, mine came after 10 minutes
  • In email link will be provided to download Microsoft Windows 8 Assistant. Follow the assistant till last check out page, will have option to enter promo code, enter promo code that you received in email, it should automatically deduct $385. Enjoy Windows 8 Pro for $15.

I read that the upgrade offer is suppose to run till 28/02/13.

It seems people need windows 7 key, it didn't ask me for anything like that. However that shouldn't matter.

    I'm not sure if fraud, or fabricating details in contravention of the Terms and Conditions, qualifies as a genuine bargain.

    Otherwise 5 finger discounts would qualify also.

    IE this is effectively a scam (if done as suggested)

      its legit for those who actually did buy windows 7 pc between the july-dec 2012 period. I dont think its a scam

      • foobar on 05/02/2013 - 14:36

        Ended up buying 3 windows 8 Pro for 3 pcs at home

        So you bought 3 pc's with Windows 7 either supplied or pre-installed between those dates?

        • CI on 05/02/2013 - 14:41

          I bought 1, the other 2 I re-entered the same info of the first one with different email address

        • stig on 05/02/2013 - 14:52

          In our family, two households have bought four new laptops (with plans to buy two more very soon) in the last 7 months. Granted, they're not all in the same house, and two of them came with Windows 8, but still… I don't think three is that many :)

          It's also not uncommon to upgrade several machines at once if you find a good unit for a particularly good price.

        • SickDmith on 06/02/2013 - 17:39

    You can still get it for $48.72 at Officeworks, I got it the day after the deal expired, was going to purchase online but by the time I had made free space for the download it had expired.

      if you have to make "free space" of 2gb and it took you months to do, you probably shouldn't be installing Windows 8 Pro.

      • Pyrock on 06/02/2013 - 13:20

        but then to actually install it its somewhere around 20gb - and it keeps the old windows files aswell, so a little more than 2gb. but i guess you could just download it before the offer ended then you have as much time as you wanted to free up the 20ishGB

        • [Deactivated] on 13/02/2013 - 00:11

          nope, nope, nope.

          before you speak you should probably know what it is you're talking about. No OS has ever been 20gb installed, you get the choice to keep your old "data" NOT OS files, you have absolutely no clue.

      • [Deactivated] on 06/02/2013 - 12:25

        props for sticking to XP! That OS will be supported to 2014 and then they stop making virus patches, driver updates, etc. I would definitely be moving to Win7 but it is very tempting to move to Win8 for the Pro version at such a low price. I've heard it is a super hassle to use your downgrade Pro rights to get down to Win7 pro including microsoft phone calls being transferred to other operators, etc. I don't mind Win8 because you can still modify it to basically be Win7 but I hate the other interface being stapled on top of it. Honestly I think Microsoft was planning on just Win8 interface and realised they just couldn't release it so they stapled it on Win7 and marketed a new product just cus.

    • Manial on 06/02/2013 - 10:57

      I tried using a Win 7 Product key for a laptop bought three years ago and it didn't work, so it appears they have some way of telling when it was activated.

  • camel_racer on 05/02/2013 - 14:42

    Is this for the upgrade or full version?

    • CI on 05/02/2013 - 14:44

      2 pcs I had windows 7, it upgraded to windows 8 pro fully activated, the other pc I had windows vista still allowed full install
      it downloaded windows 8 and then i did install from multimedia option, made a bootable usb, used the same usb on all 3 pcs and just entered the 3 product keys that I bought for $15

      • camel_racer on 05/02/2013 - 14:50

        Can you install it on a blank HDD though or does it require a previous version of Windows to be installed?

        • sonic2011 on 05/02/2013 - 15:40

          You still need prev version to install win 8 upgrade

        • [Deactivated] on 05/02/2013 - 15:45

          Where's the logic in that? If it's blank what are you upgrading?

          You can reformat during installation (for clean install), but not before installation. You'll need to make dvd/usb install media for this.

      According to the official email from MS, those codes aren't valid beyond 31/1/13. I tried one on Feb 3 and it didn't work, but as is the way of these things, ymmv. It may help if you applied for the code before the end of January, as they were taking up to 4 days to get them out to people.

      • Mitchh on 05/02/2013 - 16:04

        I've got the code, since I applied for it back when it was originally featured on news sites such as CNet. And as you say I got an email a while back telling me to get WMC ASAP before Jan 31. I just forgot about it, and am now wondering whether or not to see if I can get W8 still for ~$50 and get the free upgrade.

        Thanks Purf, might try it. Its a gamble since its no longer supposed to be valid, but maybe I'll try it.

    PS-Yes I did buy a win7 laptop in Dec. I just wanted to have a serial and download prepared as it was a xmas gift for a friend who I'm sure would love the upgrade. I don't want to take the laptop away from her longer than needed.

      "If you don’t want to run the upgrade immediately, you can keep the product key and the downloaded setup files in a safe place and install them later. You can also use the product key and downloaded files on a different PC than the one on which you downloaded it."

    When I did this I received an upgrade (not standalone) licence :(

    Anyway, I gave it a whirl and after 30minutes of using windows 8 I wanted a refund. It's terrible. So glad I didn't pay the full price, and even at $15 I felt jibbed.

    Windows 8:
    1) take the logical layout of applications and settings of windows 7, and reinvent it
    2) introduce a giant tetris screen with large basic colours
    3) make options difficult to find, dumb down settings, reduce usabiltiy by preventing windows to be side by side, introduce application tetris menu integration (but don't do it for all applications), etc
    4) Check if anything makes sense. It doesn't? Perfect.

    I strongly recommend you download a copy (elsewhere) and try it using the 30day grace period you receive before activation is required. $15 is cheap, but for me it was $15 wasted

        It's a shell over a shell over a CLI, none of which could be regarded as seamless. I'd regard that as a fairly serious issue. It adds nothing to the functionality of W7, unless you have a touch-screen monitor. Even then, the new shell is a long way from 'intuitive' and if you load a pre W8 app (which is going to be the bulk of the ones you use for the forseeable), you immediately lose the fancy new shell interface.

        You do get used to it.

        Technical people can just make easy shortcuts to technical areas of the operating system etc.

        I have it on my media PC and its quite good, I won't upgrade to it on my main computer as its unnecessary hassle, but its very easy to change it to make it usable again like windows 7 while enjoying the improvements of windows 8.

        • [Deactivated] on 05/02/2013 - 15:51

          windows 8 is certainly very good and it will push future laptop/computers to touch screen.

          xp -> vista/win7 was not much to learn, but to win8 it takes some practice. Shutdown button is not direct, closing full screen app is a new gesture, etc. But once you got used, you will not like win7/xp.

          I like the people screen (fb/twitter live integration), win8 mail got activesync support, virus scan is in built, on windows tile just typing will bring search, login is global if linked with hotmail, boots very fast.

          Hardware wise we will see a long awaited evolution towards something new.

          For example Logitech touch mouse: http://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/touch-mouse-t620

          Other things include touch pads for desktop (virtual touch screen that interacts with PC screen) and wireless sensor technology as demonstrated by MS with xbox kinect and smart glass.

          Keep an open mind is all I say. It's just the beginning of a new era.

          And as far as new tech goes the only thing I strongly dislike is 3D tv, but even that has a feature I think we'll see more of which LG has called 3D dual play (I think). (This allows 2 gamers to share the entire TV screen to themselves - no good for spectators though unless they're also wearing glasses).

          I don't understand your question, do you mean what's the point in upgrading to win 8 if you then turn around and revert the interface? If so, it just brings back the familiar interface windows users are accustomed to, most people don't like change and metro is a huge one. If not, then please restate your question :)

          It is definitely faster to sit at and use in general, don't know about gaming though, someone else can comment if games run better.

          I'm at the pointy end of hardware on a laptop (i7 Full HD, 16Gb RAM, 512Gb SSD) and did the switch two weeks ago - but only after installing Start8 - its the American Express Card for Windows 8 - don't leave home without it.

          Performance is vastly improved over Windows 7 - only change between Windows 7 and 8 for me was an upgrade from Crucial M4 256 to 512Gb.

          Have had a couple of issues with restart times taking way too long (like hours!!!!). Made the mistake of power cycling the PC and had to use the System Restore which is a nightmare for the average user (I have to boot from USB as my optical drive I replaced with another hard drive).

          laptop (i7 Full HD, 16Gb RAM, 512Gb SSD) … Performance is vastly improved over Windows 7

          This is difficult to comprehend. Once booted, fast machine like that would not be affected by a faster desktop or system (OS) calls. At desktop, my 2630QM is sitting at 96% idle - it's got nothing to do, so, faster OS cannot make the machine any faster.
          For all I know, you're designing flying saucers and performing complex fluid dynamics calculations on it, maxing out the CPU, but this won't be improved by the OS.

        • CachePC on 05/02/2013 - 20:36

          Having been involved with PCs since the 68000 and 286's running 16Mhz, I think I know when the system is "snappier" and more responsive - and Windows 8 is. My application does alot of background database synchronisation which involves MySQL triggers and updates some 1M records with db triggers - so a faster I/O system is noticable as I spawn some 60+ threads.

          My benchmark times (and coincidentially, standard benchmarking tools), identify that certain aspects of the OS are faster. 96% is a number scaled coincidentally to be from 0-100, so if the OS is faster (more optimised subsystems) are faster this is a meaningless number.

          Having worked on Linux kernels, written device drivers for Windows and developed safety systems for control systems, I think I know a little about Operating Systems…. so things like faster context switches, faster I/O systems and better paging and caching mechanisms do make a difference - Windows 8 is an evolution.

      Granted, the new Windows 8 start menu isn't for everyone, but you can remove it which renders most of your points above moot. There are many free options as well as paid ones that will turn Windows 8 back into essentially Windows 7, but while still keeping the performance increases of 8.

      I'd strongly recommend the upgrade to 8, and if someone doesn't like the new start menu just use pokki or Start8 to return it to the old Win7 interface.

    Highly recommend start8 from stardock for Windows 8. A license will cost $5 after 30 day trial.

    Start8 allows you to boot straight into desktop mode too, which is fantastic alone (I believe classicshell can also do this).

    It's bizzare MS removed the start key, but if people would spend 5 mins using Google they could saves hours of complaining and end up with an OS quicker than Win7.

    • foobar on 05/02/2013 - 15:27

      Yep classicshell lets you bypass metro and go straight to desktop. On slower machines you may see metro flash up for a split second.

      They also ruined Server 2012 with metro, thankfully classicshell sorts that out too.

    • [Deactivated] on 05/02/2013 - 15:39

      I would think if you tried to use your Win7 license on another computer, the Win8 upgrade install may ask for a new Win7 key.

      Where-as on the same computer, not a problem. I have read that you can dual boot - so assumption made here. The Win8 install just requires a valid Win7 install at time of installation (what happens after - don't know).

      Your guess is as good as mine though, I just don't think they dare invalidate genuine keys. Then again stranger things have happened ;)

    FYI - If you have a laptop, just make sure any manufacture specific software has Win8 drivers available. I have a Lenovo E520 and upgraded to win 8 only to find my switchable graphics was now non-existent according to Windows (along with pretty much all of the Lenovo utilities). Ended up reinstalling win 7 to get it working again. BIG headache. Once/if drivers are released I'll upgrade again.

      Just force it to use Win7 drivers. Has worked in the past when changing from XP to Vista.

      • notreallyhere on 05/02/2013 - 16:54

        Tried that and pretty much everything else. I gave up after checking the Lenovo forums and finding others in the same boat.

    Can i use this key in a new / fresh install?

    • rasun81 on 05/02/2013 - 15:56

      yes

      • kspec on 05/02/2013 - 16:10

        Just download upgrade assistant and it says not acailable for my country? WTF

        *using VANLEEUWEN trick above works

    • Mitchh on 05/02/2013 - 16:06

      No. You need to install something on there first, and then upgrade. You don't need a licenced one though, so you should be able to install XP, Vista, or 7 without a product key, and then just upgrade within 30 days to 8.

        Thats an interesting way to do it, should be easier than having to install XP, Vista, or 7, so thanks!

    I upgraded both my laptops purchased during the promotion period to Win 8.

    I then down-graded them both back to Win 7, which I might add was not particularly easy it was like Microsoft was hanging on for all it was worth.

    Windows 8 also wiped the recovery partition on my Asus clean.

    Windows 8 is not really a bargain even if given free, many of the people buying all these keys will quite likely regret it.

    Save your time and a few dollars and give it a miss try and use someone elses machine that has Win 8 to see what you're in for.

    If you have a touch screen it's a different story as that's what it's designed for.

      Or you get get Windows 8 and Start8 (from stardocks?) if you don't like the new "landing page"; that's what I do!

      • pyramid on 05/02/2013 - 16:37

        I tend to agree with you. Most of the people have problem with new "landing page" including myself..because nothing has changed beneath this landing page for normal user like me..so geek has more information on what technicalities has changed but i guess that does not impact normal users.

          Have you tried 8? Quite a bit has changed apart from the Start screen. For starters, if you have 8, go and copy something big, see the difference? How about starting the launch manager? Have a look at browsing your folders using Explorer, notice a difference? Plug in some headphones, change the volume, then unplug the headphones. Sure, they aren't dramatic changes, but the little things add up, not to mention everything is faster and smoother in 8.

          and uglier than windows 7

        • Mitchh on 05/02/2013 - 22:47

          Depends on what you think beauty is. Personally I prefer an OS that works well, as opposed to looks good. Vista is commonly said to be the most good-looking OS Microsoft has made, yet people hate it. Another example is the Mac OSX it looks really nice, but isn't very good at all.

  • kspec on 05/02/2013 - 16:16

    Can u transfer this licence if i buy new comp?

    • guidedlight on 05/02/2013 - 16:37

      No. It's an OEM license.
      It must be used with the computer it was originally assigned to.

      • LolwutMikka on 05/02/2013 - 20:21

        Not necessarily. I'm using my OEM license for Win 7 which I received from my laptop on my desktop and the missus' desktop as well.

    • wowoyu on 05/02/2013 - 21:07

      I would say yes. Because I have a eligible desktop but I was able to buy two cd-keys(different emails). Then I used one key to clean install windows 8 on my laptop without any problem.

  • CI on 05/02/2013 - 16:52

    one way to keep your full windows 7 and also upgrade to windows 8 would be to create a recovery partition for the original windows (i.e 7) mines around 10gb

  • Hinee on 05/02/2013 - 17:02

    For what it's worth, I did this originally choosing some random laptop model and successfully paid for and installed W8 pro, as well as the Media Centre freebie that was floating around.

    I personally love W8, it's just 7 with the Metro running in the background. Ever need to access any file or setting? Hit the windows key to go to metro and type anything you like to bring up a vast array of settings and files.

    At the end of the day, h8rs always gonna h8

    • ZRXS12 on 05/02/2013 - 19:24

      Interesting.

  • figarow on 05/02/2013 - 17:09

    If I decided to get this, can i:

    1) Use the key & download later, say in a few months time?
    2) Reformat down the track & reinstall windows 8 using my windows 7 disc & method above?

    • wowoyu on 05/02/2013 - 21:20

      1.Yes. When the upgrade assistant starts downloading files, just pause and cancel. But I suggest to let it finish downloading. You will have the option to save the ISO file to install it later.
      2.Why bother? Just use the ISO image to clean install Win 8.
