Officeworks windows 8 pro pack

This was posted 9 years 2 months 19 days ago, and might be an out-dated deal. Go to Deal. Computing Microsoft Operating System. And win 8 pro is just an upgrade from XP, vista or 7. The Windows 8 Pro upgrade udates an older version to Windows 8 Pro.

Hopefully a little bit less confusing now :. OS tech since XP has changed substantially. You need to backup all your personal files as it does a fresh install.

Was also in today's Advertiser SA. I assume this includes physical media? No point. That is only within a period of time if u bought win7. You have to read carefully. You can lie and get it anyway. As long as you have Win 7, you are set. I just checked that thread and people got it without enter the old key and proof of purchase. I understand what u mean now. If you have a Win7 machine and use it to buy it should not have problem. Some try to use a Mac and the page will ask for a valid win7 key.

I don't get this. If you're breaking the law why not just download a pirate copy? Because stealing a car is illegal. But buying it from an idiot at a stupid price isn't!!

Whirlpool poster reports its key only…seems weird if true from OW. As long as your hardware supports x64 too. It would be pretty average if you can't and are forced to buy the full version.

Why can't MS just have one version of their OS with one price? Oh, good god. Windows 7 starter? Why on earth are you buying such a low-spec netbook anyway?

Maybe when Windows 9 comes around they'll figure it out. If you're upgrading from an older version of Windows, you … buy the upgrade version.

Where's the complicated part? That might be it. The description in the OP clearly states the difference though. So is the verification that you have previous windows version only done at time of purchase?

Where you stick them is up to you. Is it possible to get 64 bit version via download if you're running 32 bit currently? Er, why? Not without a previous installation of Windows 7…and not with physical media.

If you're going from XP or Vista it's a fresh install. If from 7 you should be fine. Furniture expandable: Furniture. Workplace Supplies expandable: Workplace Supplies. Services expandable: Services.

Add to Cart. Add to My List. Have a good day all. So the main concerns is to check that all of your drivers video, sound, etc are supported? Is there a compatibility tool that can do this?

I rebuilt my main porn er office box specifically with Win 8 in mine. If you have unsupported devices, upgrade. The new ones will be faster and cheaper. This is not I expect any office PC's I build to last 5yrs, within that time Celeron's and Penitum's are likely to run out of puff, and if I ever want to do grunt work the i3 may be slow and do-able, the Celeron's and Pentium's just won't cut it. It downloads a small 5meg or so app. The very first thing the app does is run a compatibility check.

Windows 8 from the stores is an upgrade, if you did a clean install it wont activate, it will install but not activate.
