Yesterday we reported about the Windows 8 Upgrade offer which starts from today.As per the offer whoever buy the Windows 7 PC starting from today i.e from June 2nd 2012 to  31st Jan 2013,can avail the 14.99$ upgrade offer for Windows 8 Pro.

After the Release Preview release yesterday,microsoft has revealed some more details on the upgrade offers.The offer is available for those who buy Home Basic, Home Premium, Professional, and Ultimate versions of Windows 7,but those who buy the Windows 7 Starter Edition will not get this offer for Windows 8 Pro upgrade.Moreover those who want to use the Windows Media Center would have to buy it separately along with the Windows 8 Pro.

The upgrade comes with 90 days of no-charge support from Microsoft.It will primarily be available as a digital format(downloadable copy)and those who would like to own a physical copy of it would have to pay an additional cost.Some other limitations of the upgrade includes a limit of 5 upgrade offers per person,which includes student,enthusiasts and home users.

As we have already mentioned Microsoft will reveal more details on the upgrade offers for the users who already have a Windows 7 PC i.e.before the start of this offer.Stay tune for more information on that and other Windows 8 scoop.

    I downloaded MS Win 8 Pre Release yesterday.  After installing it, I am unable to reinstall my Network Adapter.  How do I deleate the PR?

      go to the manufacturer website of your network adapter. download the latest version for the 32bit or 64bit depending on which setup you used. if the installation tells you this version of windows is not compatible close it than right click it and select a version in compatibility mode. I’ve done this with a few drivers and has worked great. the driver installation media that came with your pc will likely not work.
      but to delete the pre release you will need to do a full clean install with your original os.
