For new Windows 7 users
Microsoft will offer its next operating system update, Windows 8, from just ?10 to customers who buy a new PC from 2 June.
"Beginning June 2, 2012, Microsoft will roll out the Windows Upgrade Offer in 131 markets, including the US and Canada," the company confirmed in a statement. "Consumers who buy eligible Windows 7-based PCs through January 31, 2013, can purchase an upgrade to Windows 8 Pro for an estimated retail price of $14.99 during the time of the promotion."
It means that anyone who buys a new PC between now and January next year will be able to upgrade their computer easily without having to fork out a huge fee for the new OS.
Windows 8 is widely expected in October.?
Customers who've bought Windows 7 or previous versions of the Windows operating system will have to pay full price. That price has yet to be announced by Microsoft.
