Cheapest place to buy Windows 7? - Hardware & Software

Where is the cheapest place i can buy Windows 7? A while ago a nice guy gave me a code but i have since lost the PM Thanks!

The cheapest place I could find it for was at outlet PC for $89 Windows 7 [url]http://www.outletpc.com/c5740.html?utm_source=c5740&utm_medium=shopping%2Bengine&utm_campaign=pcpartpicker[/url] Windows 8 [url]http://www.outletpc.com/ww6349-microsoft-windows-8-os-64-bit.html?utm_source=ww6349-microsoft-windows-8-os-64-bit&utm_medium=shopping%2Bengine&utm_campaign=pcpartpicker[/url]

I'd get 8, lot more features and bonuses and if you really hate metro just get start8 for an extra $5 and call it a day. That and it boots up MUCH faster than 7, with 7 my boot up time from start to finish was about 30 seconds and now it is about 13.

I much prefer 7 personally.

Windows 8 is garbage.

Don't turn this thread into a battleground.[/QUOTE] Windows 8 IS better other than the start bar, it uses less resources and everything opens faster and there is a lot more hardware optimization to it. That and you get the features of W7 ultimate with W8 premium for the same price as home professional W7 [editline]1st March 2013[/editline] That and the boot times with UEFI BIOS is insane, my old boot times with W7 was about 30 seconds on my mechanical drive, now its about 13. [editline]1st March 2013[/editline] Again, only a mere suggestion. You can get whatever you are comfortable with.

Don't Win8 keys also activate Win7 installs as well? (So pretty much just get 8, if this is the case, looking into it atm) edit: I heard this worked a while back when they were selling win8 pro for $40, I don't think it works any more, or it just might be restricted to pro, idk.

Actually, to be fair, I used 8 on a tablet and fell in love with it. I then tried it on a desktop and I hated it.

But isn't Windows 7 way better for games and such? - When I say that, I'm thinking of Windows Eight, would it even install, start and play with better? I'd go with Windows 7, I've got professional myself

Seems like people haven't even tried it. Heck, my mom likes Win8 and she told me that she's surprised about how little you even use the start menu.

So Windows Eight is definitely something I'd go with. I just got Win7 pro because of my brothers education.

If you ask me get windows 8 later on when more drivers has came out and more software is compatable with it or you will just regret it.

[QUOTE=Ejbaker;39796377]If you ask me get windows 8 later on when more drivers has came out and more software is compatable with it or you will just regret it.[/QUOTE] Mention 2 drivers that aren't supported which doesn't have anything to do with something made in 2004

[QUOTE=Killervalon;39795860]128 bit?[/QUOTE] 128 bit OS. You know like there's 64 bit & 32 bit which is the current standard.

(also, I'm quite sure there is no such thing as a 128-bit OS.. It would require some major adjustments to CPU's as well)

you do realize that article is from October 2009 right

128-bit processing would be essentially pointless.

- What have I started.. @HolyCrapaWalRus No, I didn't realize that :v:
