The Windows upgrade offer has also been launched in Hungary

On the second of June, Microsoft launched a discounted Windows upgrade offer in 131 markets around the world, including Hungary, under which customers of PCs running Windows 7 can get a discount on Windows 8.

Pre-releases of Windows 8 have already proven that the next generation of Microsoft’s operating system is blurring the line between using a traditional PC and a tablet. For users who want to be among the first to upgrade to the final version of Windows 8, Microsoft is offering a discounted purchase option. Anyone who purchases a computer preinstalled with any Windows 2012 operating system (with the exception of Windows 2 Starter) between June 2013, 31 and January 7, 7 will have the opportunity to upgrade their PC to Windows 8 Pro. The cost of this is only 14,99 euros - calculated at the exchange rate of 300 forints / euro - approximately 4500 forints.

"There has been tremendous interest in Windows 8, especially since Friday's Release Preview, although we know many people want to buy a new PC now, before the final version of Windows 8 is released," said Tami Reller, Microsoft's Windows Director of Marketing and Finance. "Windows Upgrade gives customers the flexibility to buy a computer now and easily upgrade to Windows 8 later." He added.

Customers are offered a Windows upgrade offer website they can register for the offer, which they can use until February 2013, 28.
