Yep, it is ESD!

Keep in mind, DON'T click the "download Windows" again after it has downloaded once!!! This will delete everything in the ESD folder on your primary drive and will start all over again downloading!!!!

that should be in teh first post.

any way i can buy a key or two and save them for later? i dont really feel like upgrading my laptops just yet, but want to grab this deal while i can

Mussels you could keep em aside and use anytime. Its only purchasing Windows 8 at a much much cheaper price then its original. And that's what i'm doing right now. You might want to get some promotional code for an even cheaper discount. Buying mine for $18SGD ($15USD)

http://www.windowsupgradeoffer.com/ links here for offer.

No. Before. It will prompt you for particular details. The next page would confirm the checkout and includes a box for placing your promotional code. I'm not sure if code is region given. Make sure you press the APPLY before confirming your checkout

Same here, it didn't work.

dylanando · Oct 26, 2012

Worked for me. $15 windows 8. bargin lol

FreedomEclipse · Oct 26, 2012

Worked for me.... Just purchased for £15 ($24 - Welcome to ripoff Britain!) not as cheap as you folks from from the U.S but its still a great offer which i can afford and not something ridiculous like close to £170 ($274) for Win7 Ultimate.

Currently downloading as we speak. going to burn it onto DVD then install it on my laptop at a later date since my laptop is not much of a gaming machine.

Does the upgrade assistant give you the option to burn the ISO??

yes. AND to make a bootable USB drive (which i'm doing right now)

brandonwh64 · Oct 26, 2012

Purchasing now. I guess since its so cheap might as well upgrade while I can.

3870x2 · Oct 26, 2012

What is the size of the download?

Mussels · Oct 26, 2012

2.62GB folder in mine. it may have given me the 64 bit version.

late edit: yes, it gave me x64. it detects based on the OS you ran the tool on.

fingers crossed it did the same for me too :eek:

brandonwh64 · Oct 26, 2012

Ok purchased and its downloading BUT How do I know if this is x64 bit?

Sasqui · Oct 26, 2012

It also says:

Note: You must order your upgrade using the PC that you wish to upgrade.

Why is that?

I think its all down to the autoupdate tool they make you run. If it detects that you are running a 64bit OS, they might give you the 64bit one.

In any case, if there is no x64 option then I will just not install it and wait until its going for more £££ or $$$ before selling it to a friend.

Its a legit copy after all.
