Hello guys,

I'm running Windows 7 HP OEM and plan to upgrade to Win7Pro, mainly due to domain connect possibility.

Is it formally and technically possible to do a trick:
First, upgrade from Win7HP OEM to Win8Pro OEM (using the offer for 39,99 USD: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/buy ),
and next, downgrade from Win8Pro to Win7Pro?

That’s because it would be a cheaper way than upgrading from Win7HP to Win7Pro directly.

Regards!
Adrian

How is that cheaper? I think you will still have to buy Windows 7 Pro? I think you will find that downgrade rights from Windows 8 only applies to a new PC purchased with Windows 8 Pre installed. Going from Windows 8 to Windows 7 will require a reinstall too.
