    "free upgrades" are only offered by OEMs to the best of my knowledge - if you have an eligible laptop contact your OEM.

    If you need to buy an update then either use a trusted merchnt/site (e.g. Amazon) or your friend in France.

    Hmm, looking at the site... it looks like an MS site...
    Still, your OEM is responsible for free upgrades.

    The page clearly states (also here) that you need to have purchased the computer/laptop on or after june 26 2009 and you need to have one of the forms as in the picture below.
    The form should have been given to you by the reseller when you bought your notebook.
    For further details, check the above link.
