Sony Vaio Windows 7 upgrade program

According to Sony's website, yes...a Vista Ultimate 64 is eligible for an Windows 7 Ultimate.

That url is timing out for me. is this the same url for status check? Thanks for the reply.

 

Does anyone know if we can use the Product Key from the Sony Windows 7 Upgrade Kit to install Windows 7 on a Dell (or HP) laptop?

 

Quite possible. The software that comes on the disk is actually a non-bootable installable medium same as a regular update disk but not bootable. i dont think it cares if its a sony notebook or not. It has a OEM key.

 

For those who bought or are thinking of buying a refurb Sony notebook, I am happy to announce that Sony has shipped me the Windows 7 Ultimate disks in about 10days after filling the online form. If your notebook model qualifies for the free upgrade, then do fill out the form and send a receipt (paypal receipt is also accepted). As long as your notebook model is qualifying, they dont seem to check if it is a new/refurb/used notebook. I do believe that the receipt should not say Used or Refurbished anywhere.

I had a non-activated Windows 7 installed on my sony notebook from my previous hard drive and once I got the key from the Sony disk, I used Anytime upgrade option in Windows to enter that key and Home premium is now Ultimate after activation.

This is my experience

 

My upgrade experience is not as pleasant. I sent my verification about two weeks ago (Owned for 16 days total) and received no sort of response.

All I know is that *fufillment is in progress* as vaguely wonderful as that is...

 

This is what I get when I go to the site...vague.

Hi,

I just picked up a VGN AW110J from PCRichards.

I was told I could get the upgrade from Vista to Windows 7.

I see there are alot of pages here. Can someone just point me in the right direction on how to get it for FREE?

Is it a download or do they send you the disc?

Thanks in advance,

M
