- Windows 7 Home Upgrade for $70
Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade for $70, which is $30 to $40 less than what it normally costs.
To use the upgrade, you must already have a valid license of Windows Vista, XP, or 2000 on your computer.
Windows Vista users can do an in-place upgrade (retaining all programs and settings) whereas XP and 2000 users will be forced to do a clean install.
During the upgrade, you can choose either 32bit or 64bit.
32bit has better compatibility with existing programs, but 64 bit allows using memory (RAM) sizes above 4GB.
If you are concerned about stability of your computer and software, we recommend 32bit.
If you are looking for a full version of Windows 7 without a previous version requirement, eWiz.com is selling Windows 7 Home OEM 32bit or 64bit for $92 with coupon HIGH5 .
If you are a college student or someone with an email address ending in ".edu" then you can get a Windows 7 Professional Upgrade for $30 direct from Microsoft (Windows upgrade link in lower-right of that page).
The software are delivered via download, or add about $13 to have a DVD shipped to you.
These software are identical to the ones available to everyone else, just less expensive.
They require an edu email address as verification that you are a student/faculty of a college, and no one else is allowed to get these discounts.
