Buying Original Windows 7 or 8.1. Online. Help

[m-jeri]

Hi,

I need to get a Windows 7 or 8.1. Digital copy. For around 2 or 3 machines.

What I mean by digital is, I dont want to go to a shop and get one. Through online.
Please tell how and what is the procedure? Possible?

Best deal location?

Thanks.

W8/W8.1 - Best deal is through Dreamspark. But if you want to use for commercial purposes, a strict no no.

If you do not mind W7, you can get a copy of Home Premium 3 user (check if in stock) - for cheap. Wait for Black Friday deals

It has to be a complete setup type things. No upgrade or anything. I prefer getting the 8.1 or 7. No 8, as the start button is missing and peeps in family go nuts when they dont see start button in my laptop.

You can install "start is back" or pokki to get Startmenu back in win 8. Start menu in win 8.1 and win 7 is not the same.

i know that. I am using 8.1 now. But atleast there is something to click there.

If you want for home then go with Dreamspark (All the win 8 keys work with 8.1)
