The average user wouldn't do this, BUT before it dies, make a backup Image of the Drive, then simply drop that image back to a new Drive. or if you wanted a Actual Install DVD for a fresh Install, its a piece of cake to make one from the download from doing the upgrade.:nerd: The key you would get in an email ( sometimes), or run one of the many key finders available, again Before it died. |

| 1392477 | 2015-01-22 03:20:00 | That would still be too much as it would mean that they were the only software company still charging user licensing fees for a desktop operating system. Wrong ;) In fact, I think you'd be more accurate to say Apple was the only company not charging user licensing fees. But ever heard of RedHat? It ain't free mate ;) Yes, I know RedHat is Open Source, but that's repackaged as CentOS. Redhat, the product, isn't free as it comes with support. |

| 1392478 | 2015-01-22 03:45:00 | Wow so much Microsoft negativity on this thread. I get it everything Apple & Google does is amazing and revolutionary, anything Microsoft is to be hated. | nmercer (3899) | ||
| 1392479 | 2015-01-22 06:13:00 | W10, the HoloLens and the Surface Hub, tbh it's the first time in a long time Microsoft has impressed me with innovation. | Alex B (15479) | ||
| 1392480 | 2015-01-22 06:18:00 | I'll upgrade for that price. My old Vista machine will become a linux one once Vista support ends. But the three Win7 and the 8.1 for sure. Cheers Microsoft. |

They are not hated on this website. It's just that since the the arrival of mobile computing Microsoft has discovered how hard it is to compete on a level playing field. It is a whole different ball game designing products that have consumer appeal as opposed to enterprise IT dept appeal. As a result, MS is getting hammered. |
