Windows 8 Pro price slashed

today By Nicole Kobie

The Windows 8 Pro upgrade price has inexplicably been slashed on Microsoft's online store.

An upgrade from a previous version of Windows to Windows 8 Pro had previously cost £190 inc VAT, but is now being advertised for £45.

Oddly, that means it's cheaper than the standard Windows 8, which is £99, and also cheaper than an upgrade from Windows 8 to Windows 8 Pro, which remains at £99.

Windows 8 Pro had previously been available for an introductory discount price, but that ended 31 January.

Yes i am still using windows 8 before you ask :), but only because i cannot get my windows 7 key working. Microsoft will never admit they are not selling as many windows 8 keys as they would wish :LOL:

If Microsoft reintroduced the start menu it would i feel be better received.

I am so pleased i didn't dither so ended up getting it for £25 and managed to add the free mediacentre key to it on the last day. :)

I did take an image of my windows 7 install before installing it incase i didn't like it, but to be honest i live on the desktop and the start screen is just a large start menu so all is good here for now.

you can get start menu's in windows store if you want one just go to store and click search on charms bar type classic there a few there I for one don't miss start menu one bit as snoopz said in post above the start screen is just a big start menu and I believe the start screen will get better with windows blue update and maybe resizable screen for the apps would be good too

Anyone know where you are 'supposed' to redownload Windows 8? Microsoft Store says I have no purchases so I can't do it from there. I have my product key written down on paper so maybe I'l just give them a ring, assuming its 0800.

Got my USB set up, installation goes fine until it restarts then just has a black screen.

Its like stotting my head against a brick wall.
