Since June 26, 2009, there has been a big marketing push to get consumers to purchase PCs now, instead of waiting for Windows 7 to be released. For those who did, they were promised a free upgrade to Windows 7 upon its release. What those consumers probably didn’t do was read the fine print.
It’s now been discovered that depending on where your eligible computer was purchased, there may be processing, shipping, taxes and other “junk” fees that you might have to pay before you can get your “free” upgrade discs. Most of the retailers participating in this promotion have buried this information on their web sites, most often located in the FAQs section, hiding this information from their consumers.
So for those of you who purchased a Lenovo looking for a free upgrade to Windows 7, it’s going to cost you an additional $17.03. We’re just issuing a warning that you may need to get your wallet out when it comes time to collect your “free” upgrade in two weeks.
Always listen to Mom.
