I need some advice about upgrading to win8
I currently have multiboot with win8 preview, win7HP, & Ubuntu. I want to keep using Win7 and Win8 on the same machine, can I download the win8 upgrade, install over win8 preview and keep win7?
If that's not possible, I have a 3 licence family pack of windows 7 of which I have used only 1, can I use the DVD to use up 1 licence for upgrading to win8(using the dvd disc during the install without messing up my current installation of Win7) ?
I see Win8 OEM full version 64 & OEM 64 Pro are selling at various venders on DVD. I've looked all around MS's website but I can't find a downloadable version. Is the full version downloadable? will it ever be? If it is downloadable does the DVD have some extras not in the download?
I've read elsewhere here the OEM version is the way to go but that $40 price and the instant gratification of downloading look mighty tempting.
