How to upgrade (a pirated version of) Windows 7 to Windows 8 Pro

Microsoft allows to upgrade your Windows 7 to Windows 8 Pro for $14.99 only. The offer is valid until December the 31st 2012 or earlier. The most interesting thing is that there is a paradox when some legal customers of desktops and notebooks with Windows 7 pre-installed fail to get an upgrade to Windows 8 while some users of pirated versions of Windows 7 were able to get the upgrade for only $14.99. Microsoft will probably close the loophole unless it is interested at legalizing pirated versions of Windows 7 by any mean.

How to upgrade (a pirated version of) Windows 7 to Windows 8 Pro

  1. Navigate to the Windows Upgrade page and select your region. Let's assume you have chosen "United States - English".Buy a Windows 7 PC and get Windows 8 Pro for $14.99*

  2. Hit the "Continue" button.

  3. The "Register for the Windows Upgrade Offer" page will load. Enter your name, cell phone number, e-mail, CAPTCHA. Agree with the terms of use and the privacy statement. Obviously you have bought your Windows 7 computer 2-5 weeks ago from one of major retailers and your computer model is very popular ;) Enter the details of your purchase including the date of your purchase, retailer and computer model (Remeber that the upgrade offer is available for recent purchases only). Hit the "Continue" button.

  4. On the next page enter your name, phone number and your e-mail.  Hit the "Continue" button.

  5. Microsoft trusts its customers and will send you a coupon code by e-mail. This coupon code will allow you to buy Windows 8 Pro (a downloadable version) for only $14.99. All further instructions are included into the e-mail.

  6. Download the Upgrade Assistant and launch it.

  7. If you decide to skip the compatibility check, make sure your hardware is indeed compatible with Windows 8.

  8. Choose a payment method (like credit card), enter your billing address. Make sure to use the coupon code which is sent by e-mail. It will cut the price down to $14.99.

  9. Also make sure not to order a backup disc. The setup wizard allows you to save the downloaded copy of Windows 8 Pro as an .ISO image file (you may burn it onto a DVD disc using freeware software like ImageBurn). Also it allows you to create a bootable flash drive with Windows 8 Pro.

  10. Hit the "Buy" button.

  11. After paying for your order you will receive a Windows 8 Pro licence key.

  12. Enjoy!

Ebates cashback service pays $25 for the first friend you refer

As I mentioned earlier, I started comparing cashback that different cashback services offer. Then I realised that some services do not offer payment through Paypal. I also decided not to use any newer cashback services to avoid any risks losing cashback.

Cashback services get a commission from the stores when you make a purchase. Instead of keeping that money - like almost all other sites do - they share it with customers! This allows you to make purchases at the same online stores, using the same web-sites, but save several percents from each qualified transaction. Unlike offline rebates, no paper work needed.


I've been using 3 trusted cashback services that many of my friends recommend, namely: eBates, Mr.Rebates, FatWallet. The first two allow you to make some money by referring friends.

Right now eBates has a special promotion. Refer your first friend to the service and earn a $25 bonus. All you need to do is to ask your friend to sign up via the special link. If you like this web-site, you may thank me by becoming my first referred member. Just register via this link.
