    what is concidered the "web confirmation page" is that the email they send me? because i didn't see any other page. When i go to check my order status, it won't let me even...i even put in the correct CAPTCHA from the right.

    I have the web confirmation order from Bestbuy that says i bought it. Is this concidered Proof of purchase or is this something that asus sends you?

    EXTREMELY CONFUSED!!

    The laptop comes with a big sticker that says all the info.

    Best buy is offering the upgrade when you put your cdkey for windows on the page, but Asus is offering the upgrade, for Asus notebooks, directly with them.

    A booklet with more info comes in your laptop box.

    The email that they send you is a copy of the website confirmation page that they ask you to send in. So just print the email or include the email when you email/fax/mail in your things for the upgrade.

    Do refurbished notebooks count for this "free" upgrade?

    it depends on if the company is a reseller. If the notebook was purchased after June (23?) it SHOULD count, but you have to ask them
