Windows 7: Upgrade Win 7 to Win 8

mitchell65 · 13 Jan 2013

Not sure if this should be here or in the Win 8 Forum! With my new PC I have been offered an upgrade to Win 8 for £15. I would like to take up this offer but don't want to upgrade yet! I have the promo code to get the special offer but I can't see how to download just the upgrade software and save it to my PC for future use. Any one done this so far?

Generally they will allow you to download a iso file that you can make a dvd with, assuming you have a burner (pretty much everyone does now)
You'll want to purchase the deal through the microsoft site to get it that way.
We generally reccomend doing a clean install with your upgrade copy.
You'll probably find more direct information regarding windows 8 here.
