[QUOTE="Wahugg, post: 112428, member: 10685"] $15 is a great deal for any upgrade, but 8 is just too different for me. The biggest thing I dislike about 8, is that on all new machines from HP and Dell no longer come with a COA label on the bottom of the laptop. The actuation code is embedded in the bios and can not be retrieved or changed. Whats that mean? The version of windows 8 that comes with your computer is the only version you can get. You cant transfer it to a different PC or change the version with out going through an upgrade utility. That is such utter BS to me. Not being able to access or change a product key to something you legally own. So until this practice changes, I'm sticking with 7 pro 64 bit. It will last for years to come, and I can put it on any machine I want. -Wahugg [/QUOTE]
