Preorder Windows 7 and save $70-$100


    Share

Microsoft recently announced how much Windows 7 is going to cost.

Windows 7 Final Prices:

Windows 7 Home Premium: $120 for upgrade; $200 for full version
Windows 7 Professional: $200 for upgrade; $300 for full version
Windows 7 Ultimate: $220 for upgrade; $320 for full version

Preorder Windows 7

If you decide quickly, then you can save between $70 and $100, because Microsoft is going to offer a discounted price for preorders. According to Microsoft, preorders are limited.

Preorder Prices (Upgrade from Vista to Win7):

Windows 7 Home Premium (Upgrade only): $50

Windows 7 Professional (Upgrade only): $100

Windows 7 Ultimate (Upgrade only): $200

Reasons To Preorder Windows 7:

Well, if you own Vista and you are sure that you want to buy Windows 7, then this a great chance. If you plan to get Windows 7 Ultimate, then you could buy Windows 7 Home (Upgrade), pay for an upgrade to Ultimate (once it’s available) and save some money.

Actually, it’s a bit disappointing to see that they don’t offer a discounted price for Windows 7 Ultimate, because that’s the edition most advanced users are interested in.

Microsoft Store

You can preorder Windows 7 through Microsoft’s own online store: *Note it’s not available yet, they will add it tonight*

Microsoft Store

Also, if you buy a PC /w Windows Vista from tomorrow on, you can get a free Windows 7 upgrade.

Windows 7 E (EU) Can’t Upgrade From Vista

Starting July 15th, residents of the EU can buy Windows 7 at the discounted price. However, there will be no direct upgrade. Unfortunately, Windows 7 E (for EU) will not come with a preinstalled IE8 due to decisions of the cartel office; that means an upgrade from Vista won’t be possible at all!

What About Windows 7 Starter And Home Basic ?

Home Basic will  be only available in specific countries.

Windows 7 Starter will be available on many netbooks that are being sold by Asus, Dell and other companies.

Update:

Microsoft added a message to the top of their store:

“Thursday, June 25, between 4 p.m. and midnight, PDT, Microsoft Store will be making site improvements”

I suppse they are preparing the Windows 7 preorder launch. Good stuff!

    Will I just need to type in my CD key on their site or show it in the store(if possible) to get in on this deal? Any info is great, thanks!

    It wasn’t available when you checked, but now it is.

    They made some changes to the store this night and also added Windows 7.
