Win7 For Students

[zorviny]

Not bad I am currently downloading at about 1.5 MB/sec

 

[zorviny]

Ps it has you download a downloader tool to start... its not a direct download/save as type of thing /

 

[Crath]

My download link just appeared on my order form.... you can check yours too by entering in your info at this link http://store.digitalriver.com/store/mswpus/DisplayHelpPage

yeah i do that and it just shows me my invoice, no links at all

and i try to use my order number but it keeps saying no order found, so i probably have the wrong password, and their password recovery feature is broken

 

[Crath]

ok i got into my order page and i see this

Order Status: Order Submitted

I guess yours are completed? :\ i did this a month ago

Yeah it was showing me that for a while too... but eventually it will show you a download button under your product name.... I still haven't received my email yet though, so I am downloading this without my key.

My order# and password did not work for me as well, I had to look mine up by my email address and last 5 of my credit card

 

[waiting]

Bummer that you ordered it well before me - i ordered on oct 16.....

The good news is that the download is still going pretty quickly. I'm on a wireless and it's still steady at just over 600k

The subject of the email I just got was: "Windows 7 Offer - Product Now Available (Order #xxxxxxxxx)"

I'm sure it won't be long before some more of us get it!

Did your download url have a long hash in it? or was it pretty basic and included your order numbeer? I've been trying to trick the site (by going to "re-downloaded my purchased products" and putting in my order number) but its not working

Hahaha this is a funny idea but the URL is definitely not simple. There is no way anyone could figure it out!


Man I can't wait to fire this thing up..... I really wish I wasn't on a wireless!

ok i got into my order page and i see this

Order Status: Order Submitted

Mine also says order submitted but does have the download link, my guess would be that it will update to completed in the AM when my credit card is charged.

 

[zorviny]

Currently at 17% on my download, holding at about 850k/sec

 

[Crath]

I'm not missing it am i? xD - http://imgur.com/3Giea.jpg

And when I click invoice, it just redirects to the product order page (seems like a bug), and no buttons there either

I even went to the site in IE8 to make sure my adblock plus wasnt hiding anything... blah!

I just got my email...I'm going at 1.2Mb/s. Kind of strange that the file is in .exe format and not .iso...I wonder how that will work. And there are 3 files too

mind uploading them on a server so that way i can install it awhile and when i get my key i can just plug it in?

Got my download link ~10 minutes ago and I'm on the west coast gmt -8! Was downloading at 1.4mb/sec it has dropped since then going from 900K/sec to 600K/sec T_T

All done downloading! Now to follow our friends instructions and start the install!

It is not the full version. Depending on your current OS, the install might either be a direct upgrade or a custom install. If it is a custom install then your hard drive gets wiped and then you get a clean install.

For example going from Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional will be a custom install requiring a wipe.

If you still have the disk to whatever OS you're running now, if you want a clean install, is reformating and doing a clean install of whatever OS you're on now. Then upgrade. It is time consuming, but hey for 29.99 you can't beat that.

It is not the full version

Try it - see if it activates.
