I recommend Microsoft’s web-based installer as the best way to purchase and install Windows 8 Pro. But with the special promotional pricing for this upgrade coming to a close, readers are wondering whether they can buy now (and save) but install later. The answer is a resounding yes.
In fact, you can buy now and install at any time through October 26, 2015.
This is great news. But it’s especially great news for the time being: As I write this, the January 31, 2013 deadline for the promotional pricing expiration is less than a week away.

If you have one or more PCs you think you will be upgrading in the future, don’t wait: The price for this upgrade goes up to $199.99 starting February 1, 2013.

If you buy the Windows 8 Pro upgrade but do not install it yet would I still beable to use my current Windows 7 key that I used to upgrade from? Even on a new install? |
