Hi Victor, When did you purchase the Win 7 laptop? As for this upgrade offer is only valid for Win 7 machine bought from 2 June 2012 onwards. If you bought the PC after 2nd June then you are qualify to buy up to 5 Win 8 license with this upgrade offer. So if you have 2 PCs (the Win 7 PC and a new one), then you should purchase 2 Win 8 upgrade license. Hope this answer your question.Anonymous

Hi Victor, No, the Windows 8 upgrade offer only applies for Win 7 PCs bought between 2 June 2012 and 31 Jan 2013. So if you bought your laptop last year, then you don't qualify for upgrade offer.Anonymous
