How to Upgrade Windows 7, Vista or XP to Windows 8 Pro

After much speculation Microsoft, the software giant decided to offer Windows 8 Pro for $39.99. What news may uplift the mood of many Windows loyalists even more, is that not only PCs running Windows 7  will be eligible for this offer, but the ones running Windows Vista and Windows XP as well.

Those upgrading from Windows XP will be able to get only their personal files, while those using Windows Vista will be able to bring their personal files and Windows settings - but not Windows 7 software and applications. 

Only Windows 7 users who will be able to enjoy the benefit of getting to Windows 8 Pro, everything; be it the Windows settings, personal files or the installed applications, announced Microsoft.

If you want to start fresh, you can choose to bring nothing along. You can also format your hard drive as a part of your upgrade experience, as long as you boot from media and then format your hard drive from within the setup experience for installing Windows 8, not prior to it.

There will also be the option to add Windows Media Center for free via the “add features” option within Windows 8 Pro after the upgrade. This upgrade offer is sure to drive many Windows users towards a quick Windows 8 adoption.

This upgrade will not be applicable if you are building your own PC or installing Windows 8 on a Virtual machine or a separate partition. For such scenarios there will be Windows 8 and Windows 8 Pro System Builder Products available for purchase.

The Upgrade offer will be valid up to 31st January 2013 and will be available  in 37 languages, in 131 markets once the new version hits general availability.

You can buy Genuine Windows 8 Pro at Microsoft Store at great prices! You can buy the Windows 8 Pro Pack there too.
