(Afer entering the details of my computer I was redirected to the serial page)I entered flipkart.com as retailer October 1 as my purchase date and Toshiba laptop as my computerCan some one tell me what computer brand and model to use.

If you have a Genuine Serial Number, what's the harm putting that in?

Another friend updating that its asking for Win7 key...

Serial number can be easily found from control panel.

If you're not willing to type your existing product key, try selecting the 'PC Brand' as 'Other', it will not ask for a key.

Got the exact hidden location where Windows 8 downloaded files are stored...Just tick on show hidden files in folder options. C:\ESD\Windows

Tried again from a different system (mobile basically) and it allowed... Also he was using an ID previously used when using/registering Win7 .. So that could also have been a problem.

Ok. Made a backup last night. Now the question is whether it is worth upgrading or not?

I am also feeling the same. Should I go ahead or not? Also it's shows my office 2010 as incompatible. So, do I need to purchase office also now?
