    Hi Luke,

    The only legal way to upgrade is through Microsoft. If you choose to try a different route, you risk running a non-genuine version of Windows 7 – http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/genuine

    If you wish to upgrade, you can do so by using the Windows 7 Anytime Upgrade – http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/products/windows-anytime-upgrade

    Nope sorry bud. Upgrading without paying for the upgrade license is actually illegal and considered theft.

    If you go to Newegg.com though and look for the OEM full version it’s usually cheaper than the retail upgrade version.
