You can purchase a copy of Windows within a trial, enter the serial code and install your new OS.

Be a bit careful with those ebay sellers though, you're not actually meant to get OEM codes and the like and sometimes they end up blacklisted so you can't use them.

Case: Meatbag, humanoid - APU: Human Brain version 1.53 (stock clock) - Storage: 100TB SND (Squishy Neuron Drive) - PSU: a combined 500W of Mitochondrial cells - Optical Drives: 2 Oculi, with corrective lenses.

If you don't feel like buying win 7 you always just, *ahem* "acquire" it *ahem*

 

But of course I wouldn't suggest this now would I...

The first step to insanity is believing in your sanity.

60 days if you have a old windows 7 pc you can use the product key from that one on your new pc.

I  have GameServer`s And VOIP servers the only price is that you have fun on them.

I don't like pirating OSs, simply because pirated versions can have issues with some things, plus I like installing it and having it just work. Most (but not all) cracked software require doing this and doing that to bypass the authentification processes and stuff. Fuck that shit.

That's just me though ;) He could also just rock Linux until he can get Windows :lol:
