Hello all,

Thank

Yes using the Windows Anytime upgrade system located in my computer.

Is it cheaper to unlock Ultimate for oem copies than it would be for retail?

Im not sure as the anytime upgrade is not available until the 30th so im not sure if they have published the costs yet.

I don't think the anytime upgrade is going live on the 30th but I might be wrong.

I wonder if you can even do this "upgrade" with an OEM copy.

It shows up in my computer for me to do the upgrade. Im running Home Premium.

Excellent.

I'll be watching the "ultimate extras" closely and trying to gauge if it's worth upgrading later down the line.
