Solve : Buy Windows 7 cdheap on Recertified PC? |
|
Answer» How many people know this? While new PCs are coming with MS Windows 8, Microsoft is making money selling Windows 7 to companies that refurbish, reload and certify computers taken off-lease. Get a professionally refurbished PC with Windows 7 at a great value.Here is just ONE example from a link given by MS. Toshiba 10 inch 32GB tablet $270. Same VENDOR has Dell LATITUDE D820 Notebook (Refurbished) - Intel Core Duo 2 you can buy Refurbished: $199.89 Many vendors offer warranty and payment options. So what do you think? Do you believe in recycling? Works for me. You're buying a refurbished PC with Win7 on it... The liscense is tied to the PC itself... Your Topic title suggests it's a cheap way to get Win7...mis-leading at best.Well.. you understood what it means. Surely most CH readers would also understand you can not use the Windows 7 on another PC. But a good refurbished PC may be better than the hardware they already have. The Toshiba tablet mentioned sells for twice the price when new. If you really want Windows 7, not Windows 8, the refurbished Toshiba the the economical way to buy and save the planet as well. And have the OS you want. Also, Patio, the terms of EULA require the user to comply with it as specified by MS N either the vendor or anybody can change that. The user may use the Software and hardware fully. The EULA does not prevent the user from enjoyment of his software and hardware, even if it costs less than what you might expect. Nothing in the EULA says that a low price makes the user a thief. I did not intend to use the word cheap to mean shoddy I can see you missed my point entirely...Quote from: Geek-9pm on June 07, 2013, 04:17:44 PM So what do you think? Do you believe in recycling?Sure. Why not? Windows 7 will run on many older systems. I have it running on a Pentium 4, 2.6GHz system. |
