Photos: How do I get my free Windows 7 upgrade?

Oct 26, 2009

HP
HP helpfully offers a big list of eligible business systems, and general guidelines for consumer systems, which include: "All new HP Pavilion, HP TouchSmart, HP HDX, HP G Series, and Compaq Presario Notebook PCs sold between June 26, 2009 and January 31, 2010 with an eligible operating system."

There's also a detailed FAQ and buttons for ordering your Windows 7 upgrade disc and checking order status. Unfortunately, when we clicked on the order button, we got the following error message:

"You must use Internet Explorer as your browser to place order. If Internet Explorer is not your default browser, you can find it in your list of installed programs by clicking the Windows Vista START button."
