PSA: You can pwn the Microsoft $14.99 Win 8 upgrade offer
Poast new message in this thread
Date: October 25th, 2012 3:08 PM Author: Aggressive area If you go to the windows 8 upgrade page for new computers and enter in some BS information MS will email you an upgrade code you can use to order windows 8 for $14.99. They don't actually require proof that you bought a qualifying computer. I selected my manufacturer as "other" and inputted the model # of a motherboard I just bought and they sent me a code 10 seconds later.

Date: October 26th, 2012 1:22 PM Author: Aggressive area Just pick any random computer model. I told it I bought an Acer at wal mart in July and I got a code. The motherboard I used in the op was not even a qualifying computer but it worked anyway. You could probably write "fuck you Steve Ballmer" in the model number field and get a code.

Date: October 26th, 2012 1:12 PM Author: Aggressive area Update: worked flawlessly. I downloaded the upgrade for $14.99 + tax and installed off a usb drive. Then I went back and entered some more BS info in the MS site to get some extra discount codes for family, gf, etc. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2091877&forum_id=2#21891328) |

It's kind of sad how this stuff used to be revolutionary and now windows 8 is no better than xp |

Did you have to reinstall any programs? |
|
Date: October 26th, 2012 1:45 PM Author: Aggressive area I did a clean install but it offered me the option of keeping my old settings. So far all my old programs installed without a hitch, including an old as fukk version of Office. Some of the drivers were glitchy at first but after I updated they were fine.

|
Date: October 26th, 2012 3:01 PM Author: Aggressive area Yeah, the first time I did it I inputted a motherboard model that is not even an actual computer and it gave me a code. I have also used that Acer model and a Lenovo x120e. I list newegg or wal mart as the seller and get a code less than a minute later.
Like someone else said maybe it only works if you're using widows 7 to browse the site. |
|
Date: October 26th, 2012 3:07 PM Author: Heady Misunderstood Meetinghouse it's never asked me for a motherboard model.
can u trick it into thinking win8. would u be willing to email me a code to an email address? |
|
Date: October 26th, 2012 3:11 PM Author: Aggressive area It didn't ask for the motherboard model. That was just some shit I entered in the model # field because I built a computer with that motherboard last week. I didn't expect it would actually work, but it did.
Not posting the codes I received because I used my name and telephone # to get them. |
