Being a very efficient operating system, Windows 7 is immensely popular all around the world. Currently there are many ways to fall in love with the Windows 7 operating system. You can purchase either a PC that has Windows 7 on board or purchase the upgrade disk that lets you migrate to Windows 7 from an older version of Windows. The provision of getting an OEM disk is also possible though it is mainly meant only for system builders and finally yet importantly, you are at the disposal of buying the full version of the operating system.
Buying with Windows 8
However, what is to make note is that the last option is the most expensive option out of the lot. It will set you back by around $199.99 for the full version of Windows 7 Home Premium. However, for the new baby, Windows 8, this option will not surface as Microsoft plans to offer the OEM and upgrade versions only. So users around the world will be wondering ‘how much to upgrade to Windows 8’, as the full version will not be available for purchase from Windows 8. MAC users will need to make use of the Windows 8 for system builder’s version in order to install Windows 8 on a MAC with the help of a Boot Camp.
The advantage of full versions
News is unclear on what the status of customers who want to install Windows 8 on PC’s which do not have earlier versions of Windows installed on their systems and for customers who want to build a new PC. A few factors separate Windows 7 and OEM disks from full versions. A huge advantage of 90 days of support on the new versions and the added advantage of installing Windows on another system with the same disk is possible, though not at the same time. What this means is that you can install Windows on your system and when you buy another PC you can again install Windows when the use of the old PC is stopped. If you are using the same computer, only a reactivation is possible for the Windows 7 OEM edition.
With the help of the upgrade disk, users were able to perform a clean installation of Windows 7 on a system that had no prior operating system installed. However, it is not sure whether it will be valid with the Windows 8 upgrade disk that is scheduled to hit markets shortly and to everyone’s delight, the question of how much to upgrade to Windows 8 has been answered, as the upgrade disk will carry a $40 price tag.
