[QUOTE="Analoguesat, post: 1098973, member: 176362"] If anyone has been holding off upgrading due to the end of the free offer I would recommend doing it soon in case the activation servers are turned off. It really was a very painless procedure starting with a clean ssd on a self built computer. (No guarantees with updating an existing working system!) Remember Win7 is nearly a year out of support now and getting increasingly vunerable. Other update paths are available - if you just want to update an old laptop so you can do a bit of web browsing then have a look at Linux Mint. I have that on an old laptop here - its perfectly functional for keeping an old laptop going and its basic functions are easy enough to pick up. For really old kit try Linux Peppermint. [/QUOTE]
