If $50 won't do it, what about $100? Microsoft sweetens trade-in deals for XP holdouts |
March 21, 2014
Last week, Microsoft said it would offer a $50 discount for users upgrading from Windows XP. Now, it has upped the ante.On Friday, a representative from Microsoft said that the company will now offer $100 off for those customers upgrading from older PCs running Windows XP. "Now through June 15, XP users looking to upgrade their hardware can save $100 and get free data transfer at MicrosoftStore.com or by bringing their old XP devices to their local Microsoft retail store," the representative said.It's not clear whether the offer is restricted to certain new PCs, or if this is a blanket $100 discount. Last week, Microsoft said that a new Microsoft Store offer would entice holdouts with a $50 gift card, 90 days of free support, and free data transfer (using Laplink's software) to their new PC. The old deal covered four laptops, four tablets, four hybrids, and four all-in-ones to choose from, all running Windows 8.1.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here
