Windows 7 Home premium or professional £30 for students

chigley · 30-09-09, 05:28 PM

My school email is valid

Not sure if I want to buy it or not though, haha!

Wem101 · 30-09-09, 05:30 PM

Same!

My total is £39 due to me wanting the CD as well, but Do I really need Windows 7

I'd say it's worth it.

Either you are using vista which is a complete ram hog which throws up random messages all the time. It's not very well designed.

Or you are using XP which is 8 years old... Give it a couple of years and you'll be using an operating system from a decade ago. £30 is a complete steal.

I pre-ordered the full OS instead of an upgrade for forty something, so it's not bad!

digger600 · 01-10-09, 03:51 PM

IT guys at my school were no help

ah well

TheUserName · 03-10-09, 01:46 PM

Lol I tried my school email and it worked.

But I dont think your allowed to use it for these kind of things but oh well, it will be worth it!

Lets be honest.. XP has another decade or so before it is technically outdated.

I got a school email address after constantly pestering them but guess what it doesn't work

kevan321 · 13-10-09, 10:29 PM

I'm considering getting this. But would it mean reinstalling everything? Also, does anyone know of compatibility issues with much software? I've not heard any mention.

99% of the stuff that works on Vista, works on 7.

Reinstalling everything actually doesn't take that long, unless you have loaaaaaaaaaaads of progs.

Ye, I suppose that's true, I've only got a few that I actually use much

This offer will be available from 1st October so please check back then for details on how to take advantage of this great offer.

Thanks! I'm not in university but my sister is and she was planning to buy a copy of windows 7 anyways!

antriver · 14-10-09, 04:04 PM

Windows 7 is definetely worth it, I've been running it since the beta and had the RC as well. I've got it free from my university now but I think I might still get this £30 offer and sell it to a friend or something as that's a really good deal.

Panda · 14-10-09, 08:07 PM

how big is the download may i ask?

Jon · 14-10-09, 08:13 PM

I'm using the RC now, shame I'm no longer a student

Panda · 14-10-09, 08:33 PM

Forget this

delude · 14-10-09, 09:37 PM

Hang on...can this be used to install Windows 7 from scratch? Say I wanted to use it for bootcamp and don't already have a copy of windows on there?

Yes, you can install Windows 7 Home Premium from scratch, but you need to have Vista for the Professional upgrade option.
