Windows 8 Upgrade offer now open for registration

If you've purchased a Windows 7 PC between June 2, 2012 and January 31, 2013 you are eligible for a discounted upgrade to Windows 8 Pro. When it releases you'll be able to upgrade your relatively new PC for only $14.99.

In order to take advantage of the Windows 8 upgrade offer you'll need to register online over at the Windows Upgrade Offer website. Up until today the site was simply a "Coming Soon" placard but today the site opened up to accept registration from eligible users.

Now if you're running a Windows 7 PC not purchased during the discounted period, you're not in too bad a shape. The full price to upgrade a Windows 7 computer to Windows 8 is $39.99. The Windows 8 launch date is still set for October 26th so we should start seeing more details on upgrading in the coming weeks.
