I can almost guarantee you it will be in a cheap sleeve, with no case, and no manual.

Anyone have problems watching netflix streaming since upgrading? Netflix will be fine for about 45 seconds then the audio starts going out of sync and my computer starts to lock up.

That would be fine for me then. I can just find a case. I might bight the bullet and pay the 15 for the download and then the 15 for the disc to put it on my laptop, unless I can find the retail upgrade for around the same price.

Even if you get the disc as well as the download, you'll still only get one key which only will activate one machine.

I only plan to run it on my laptop. I'm just having a hard time convincing myself to pay for it. I really want the disc and couldn't care less about downloading it.

Wow thanks! Downloading now!

Ahh!

Well, when you get the download, you get the option to make an ISO file that you can burn to disc or put on a bootable USB stick so you can install it wherever. No need to pay the extra for the disc, if you don't want!

Hey guys... I just got a laptop with Windows 8 (Core). What's the cheapest option to upgrade to Pro? The in Windows 8 Pro Pack is $69.99!

PS: I have the code to buy the upgrade for $15, but I don't know (and don't think that) if the code will work for what I want to do.

Just get the promo code and run the upgrade assistant from a PC that has an older version of windows. and then use the key that it gives you to do a clean install on your system. You should see the discount before it asks you for payment info.

Thanks OP, finally decided to get it.
