Thanx. They are S.O.L. then. Thanx.

For the sake of turning this into another Win8 bashing thread...I disagree. "They" may be better off waiting for later version "blue" or whatever it will be called. May work out some issues in Win8 and give "them" a better overall experience. I do not think I would have upgraded if they offered Win8 for 5 bucks. Sticking with Win7 until something better (to me and my opinion) comes along or I'm eventually forced to move on up.

So I take it that it makes no difference which Windows 7 version you have to begin with?

Like whether you have Starter, Home Basic, Home Premium, Ultimate, etc. etc.

it's still the same price to upgrade to either Win 8 or Win 8 Pro as the prices indicate for each?

It was almost a 200 dollar cost just to go from Win 7 Home Premium to Win 7 Ultimate?

So that isn't even taken in to consideration?

No bashing by me. I love Win8. Either way, if they wait till "Blue" it will still be out of their reach in price.

I guess not.

      It’s amusing how Microsoft is pushing IT admins as if this was a major, game-changing update. In reality, it’s just an enablement package that bumps the build number, which is disappointing compared to the more substantial 22H2 and 24H2 releases. Technically, 25H2, 26H1, and the upcoming 26H2 are essentially the same, differing only in support schedules. They could have included the Windows K2 improvements here, but chose not to. The era of Windows being in the backburner continues, and this 26H2 release feels like an afterthought. Shame, Nadella, shame.

      Microsoft, totally not confusing /s 25H2 - Current for non-Arm based Windows 26H1 - Current for Arm based Windows 26H2 - Only for non Arm Windows
    • Windows 11 version 26H2 is now available for testing in the latest preview build

      After I installed those, my older but capable Win 11 laptop (16GB RAM) reported it as 26H2 26300.8697. Then I installed it on my big laptop (128GB RAM! Hehe sorry), it reported it as 25H2 26220.8690. Ugh. Do I have to switch Insiders channels from Release to Beta?
