Upgrade to Windows 8 will cost as it requires new license, upgrade to Windows 10 is free!

Microsoft has webcam timershot for free. You can download it from cnet.

I have extra 8 keys.

Actually you can download and use the Beta version of 10 for free, if you feel adventurous....

I have a laptop I use just for music that has Windows 8, and I hate it! It's like they were trying to hard to be a Mac or tablet. Love my Windows 7 desktop though. Seems like every other platform Windows comes out with is junk. Wait for the next generation. Lol

I like 7 way better myself and use it on Bootcamp and my laptop. I'm hoping 10 is a whole lot better tha 8.

Sorry Trish....not much help here as I am a Mac guy. Haven't used a windows system since 2011

Those using Beta Win 10 so far like it. When Win 10 is released in a few months all those with Win 7 and Win 8 machines will be given one year to upgrade to Win 10 for free. After a year you have to pay for the 10 upgrade.

By the time it hits Beta it's usually good to go. All left is usually some minor tweaking. Not running 10 but did quickly scan through some 10 screenshots.

I run Linux which is free and has bulletproof security. Dumped Windoze about 8 years ago. Briefly checked out Apple but passed because it was too pricey and proprietary IMHO. Still have XP, Vista and Win 7 on old machines but seldom if ever use or need MS anymore. Never really had any problems with XP, Vista or Win 7, as long as you do all the required PM to keep it running smooth. However all MS OSs are security sieves, under constant ever increasing attack. This is the main reason for moving to Linux which has bulletproof security, even better than a Mac.....

Thanks Celso. Gotta say I do love my iMac!
