Hack Trick : Get Windows 8 genuine at just 699 INR or $12.99

If you have recently bought a Windows PC with Windows 7 then you may be eligible for a low-cost upgrade to Microsoft’s latest released operating system Windows 8. The price of the upgrade is $14.99 in the US and nearly identical in most markets, and in India it's 699 INR.

According to Microsoft, the Windows Upgrade Offer enables any individual who buys a new PC preinstalled with Windows 7 Home Basic, Home Premium, Professional, or Ultimate between June 2, 2012 and January 31, 2013 to purchase an upgrade coupon for Windows 8 Pro for INR 699 (US $14.99). To obtain the upgrade, you must register at the Windows Upgrade Offer web site by February 28, 2013. When Windows 8 is made generally available—i.e. when the OS ships to the public, not when it is finalized, or released to manufacturing (RTM)—you will receive an email from Microsoft with a promotion code and instructions for purchasing and downloading the software. That is, the upgrade offer is for an electronic software distribution (ESD) version of Windows 8, or a downloadable file, which you can use to make bootable DVD or USB Setup media. (If you want Microsoft to send you Windows 8 on physical DVD media, you can do so for an additional charge.)


Now if you bought computer before 2nd June,2012. then......??? Windows 8 just of 699 if you already have XP, Vista or Windows 7 licensed version.
