Welcome to EightForums.

The Sony upgrade for £14.99 is only for your New Sony.

You can buy a £24.99 upgrade for your Windows 7 PC.

That 699Rs. Key can be used for 3 computers? :confused:

i doubt it, one licence one use.

unless your buying deliberatly a volume licence, which can cost anywhere from a few hundred for 5 licences to thousands for 25-50-100 licences.

you won't be buying that unless your HP/Lenovo/dell

I quote:

Do I have to install the Windows 8 upgrade on the eligible PC, or can I install it on another PC?

The upgrade offer is tied to a Windows 7 PC purchased from June 2nd, 2012 through January 31, 2013, but you can choose to redeem the offer and install the upgrade on any compatible Windows-based PC with a qualifying base operating system.

As fare as you install win8 in ONLY one PC, no problem.
