Cheapest Possible LEGAL license

[scoutcamper]

Hello,

I am looking for the cheapest possible available windows 7 pro license. I am a college student, my household has 8 pc's in it and only 5 windows 7 licenses, the others are rocking vista still I have decided that it is time to take them to windows 7 pro. I am after the cheapest possible way to get 3 windows 7 pro license keys. Any Suggestions?

Your school bookstore should have it quite cheap...

You school might be hooked up with MSDN also.

Unfortunately my school is a lowly community college and they do not have agreements with MSDN, and as for the bookstore, they only have windows 8

You can do this online.So what if your school doesn't offer this incentive.

Sign up for one class online at community college (supported on msdn school list). Download all microsoft products and others as you wish. Drop the class and have a nice day with $10,000 worth of software. I joke I joke I kid I kid ... Defiantly finish the class

Yeah the student discounts are amazing I saw W7 Pro for $70 at my school's online shop

Go here and see if your school is listed. They have good deals.

As OP specifies LEGAL... Handing out MSDNAA keys to family is probably not to the letter of the EULA.

I found Vista, after sp1 to be perfectly fine.

The stipulation is that it has to be a computer you use. It doesn't say how much.

Basically keeping you from selling the keys.

Im sorry, but i don't like vista compared to 7.

I know i can get 7 PRO x64 OEM for $130 on Amazon, and these student discount places are all more expensive than that Just wondering if anything is cheaper than $130.

You can downgrade from windows 8 to windows 7, as long as you have a windows 8 key. It requires a phonecall to microsoft in some situations for them to make an alternate key or make the iso available to you. But generally any newer version if microsoft software, is capable of being downgraded to to the previous version without the need to buy another licence.

I would call them and verify that they'll do it for your case, before buying the copies.

Classic Shell freeware http://sourceforge.net/projects/classicshell/files/ will make your Windows 8 boot into Windows 7-looking Desktop complete with Start Menu, effectively taking annoying Metro out completely so you never have to see it, unless there is something you think Win8 cannot run that Win7 can?
