    Using upgrade on other existing W7 machine?

    Upgrades at the special pricing are sold to buyers of new machines. I have a new laptop but wish to use the upgrade offer to update my desktop instead, as that is where my non-routine stuff happens. I can't see any good reason why not, but, given the convoluted workings of corporate legal minds, are there any problems with using the upgrade in this way?

    Hi,

    It appears not...

    Do I have to install the Windows 8 upgrade on the eligible PC, or can I install it on another PC?
    The upgrade offer is tied to a Windows 7 PC purchased from June 2nd, 2012 through January 31, 2013, but you can choose to redeem the offer and install the upgrade on any compatible Windows-based PC with a qualifying base operating system.
    If you have further questions on the upgrade process then please checkout the FAQ which can be found here:

    I can only blush. Such an obvious site name, too!

    Many thanks, Kemical.
