Windows 7 Family Pack Upgrade

(1/2) > >>

Hi,

Does anybody know if there would be any issues with purchasing a Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade Family Pack for XP or Vista users in the US but installing it on laptops in Ireland? In case you are wondering why, it's because there is a significant price difference!
Thanks

Damian

Two issues I am aware of:

1) Finding a US seller that will ship outside the US as it violates the distribution license (I presume you have achieved this bit)

2) Support from MS may be limited if installation codes are serialised by market - is it an issue though since MS support is pretty poor at the best of time?

dluby:
1) I have "volunteered" a friend to bring it back with him on his annual Christmas trip home.
2) As for support, who needs MS when we have the expertise of the DonationCoder community!

Seems the FamilyPack is "sold out" in USA - so your friend must act fast,if he can get anyone to sell him this now.

Yeah I'd read that and I've got my fingers crossed he might get a copy somewhere.
