Microsoft makes it fairly easy to upgrade from their OS (just make sure to back up your data). Save the money though!

Hey,

 

I'm intending to build a PC fairly soon, and intend to use a Windows 7 trial at first.

 

I will be using it for about 30 days, at which point I will start Uni and get a copy free/subsidised (not sure which yet, think free). 

I don't see the point in spending extra cash on stuff I could save, so was wondering what the limitations of the trial where, and how easy it is to upgrade from 7 to 8.

Overall, is it worth doing to save £70? Or is it a hassle to upgrade/ the trial limitations make it pointless?

 

Thanks, 

 

Ryan.
