Can I check for upgradefrom one pc and use the key so received to register win8 installed in another pc? I want to install genuine windows 8 in my htpc and I don't have a credit card to order the Rs.1999/- offer. The upgrade disk is not available in flipkart also. So thought of ordering through a friend from his pc and use the serial. Will it work?
Yes, it does.
Defender is a crap - it edited and deleted a big part of exe files without any warning .. a 1GB files ends up only around 350KB - so had to disable defender using services.

Windows defender is best left...disabled. I too have had bad experiences in the past.
Use Avira free or Avast free as a free AV.

Ah...Thanks. I don't use Avast because it deletes first and informs me later, this is the reason I like Avira.

Defender is crap. It was only able to notify about a threat after I clicked on an infected exe file
^^ you bet, it deleted a large part of a completely fine file and acted like a malware itself.
yep, good for tablets/small screen laptopnetbook but can you really enjoy the touch screen on a 17 inch more desktop monitor
TBH I don't think I'm miss start button

Upgraded to Windows 8. As I could not get coupon code for the Rs.699/- offer, I ordered the Rs.1999/- option from my office Windows 7 PC. For some reason I could not download the digital upgrade from microsoft. The download window closed showing some kind of server error. But it can be downloaded later from the link provided in the email message. I freshly installed Windows 8 Pro from an iso (downloaded from torrent site) on my home pc using the product key received in the email and activated it online. So now I have genuine Windows 8 Pro for Rs. 1999/-
No that's would be awfully painful. A tablet is the best bet for windows 8
it's even good for pc - first seeing and using the Metro interface I though I would never upgrade to win 8 but once i read about many tech advantages and features of win 8 I decided to upgrade though it was only possible for win7 like menu bring back apps though
but still I miss the official transparent aero theme of win7.
