How to receive your Windows 7 upgrade

If you bought a qualifying PC

The upgrade fulfillment method may vary by PC manufacturer. When you buy a qualifying PC from a PC manufacturer that chose to participate in the Windows 7 Upgrade Option Program, you'll generally need to fill in a form and follow a few steps to order your upgrade copy of Windows 7. Look for a form with redemption details in the packaging that came with your PC. If you bought a qualifying PC and can't find out how to get the upgrade, please check on the PC manufacturer's web site.
