Microsoft is trying to turn Windows 8 Pro into an attractive operating system right from the first criterion to users. In addition to cutting upgrade prices compared to previous operating systems, US software companies also integrate Media Center freely into this service package. Accordingly, Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows XP users will only lose $ 39.99 in 131 markets including Vietnam for the new operating system update.

Adding the free Media Center option that Microsoft announced today contradicts its earlier announcement that the software must be purchased through the Windows 8 add-on feature (Add Features to Windows 8). .

This update will require buyers to download via the Upgrade Assistant system. The company will also sell the upgraded version on the DVD for $ 69.99.

Microsoft also added another option for backup DVD for $ 15 for users to upgrade, reinstall or other purposes.

This optional package will be launched by Microsoft on January 31, 2013.
