JMH · May 10, 2012

It's not exactly a shock to learn that Microsoft is preparing a way for people who will buy a new Windows 7 desktop or laptop in the near future to upgrade to the upcoming Windows 8.
Microsoft has made similar upgrade paths available to consumers whenever a new version of Windows was close to launching.

News.com reports that, according to their sources, consumers who buy a Windows 7 PC running Home Basic or higher will be able to get an upgrade to Windows 8 Pro when it is launched later this year. The story claims that the program will begin either on or around June 2nd.

Windows 8 Upgrade Offer Might Not Be Free

Microsoft might not offer free Windows 8 upgrades to customers who buy new PCs in the months before the new operating system launches.

Instead, Microsoft will charge a fee for the so-called "Windows 8 Offer," according to Mary Jo Foley at CNet. Foley's sources claim that anyone who buys a new Windows 7 PC after June 2 will get a discounted upgrade to Windows 8 Pro. So far there's no word on how much the upgrade will cost.
