GT735 + Windows 7 + Canada???

Hi,

I would like to know if the GT735 are eligible to get the Windows 7 upgrade here in Canada (in Montreal if that make any difference)??? if yes where and how can I register for it??

Because on the Windows 7 thread, all Canadian had some trouble to have anything from MSI concerning Windows 7... so I just want to know if I should buy this laptop or not

thanks

but you cant sign up from Canada.......

 

weird.... it's the canadian version of newegg that I've been told that...

 

im calling msi canada today...i'll let you know what they say...

 

Ok, so MSI Canada, says I bought the computer through newegg.ca and its the -218 model, which makes it an American version so I have to get it through the states on msimobile.com. I explained to him that I cant, because theres not option for Canadians, and he said he has no other information or instructions on it. He said maybe call back in a month and he might know more......Ya, so nothing for us Canadians

 

I called 2 days ago and the guy told me that If the laptop have Windows vista that I'll be able to do the upgrade...

there should be a way to do it buy phone!! I think that I'll call MSI USA maybe they will be able to help me.

 

god... it sucks lol.... they can't even answer properly ééé

 

When I call MSI Canada do I want to talk to the sales department or someone else? I want to know first about Windows 7 for a Canadian Model and it is available for my model ... which is going to be the MSI GX620

 

So i spoke with again with a guy from msimobile.com and explained everything (again) and he forwarded my questions to someone else who has no replied.....But I also emailed newegg.ca and they told me to contact MSI....So friggin retarded, everyone just keeps passing the buck..

 

i think I have it After going there and choosing global as the country(cause canada isn't in the list) I got the whole procedure. It's on this website. ( http://www.msi.com/html/popup/win7/nb_flow_requirement.html)

Then, you go on the website on www.windows7upgradeoption.com (mentionned at step 5) and from that place you can select the country and use the code you received with your order

I can't verify if it works, since i have not ordered thus not received my msi, but i hope it helped you.

I know this is a post for the GT735 but there wasn't one of this nature for the one i'm buying ..

On that list it doesn't have the model i'm getting the MSI GX620 ... and on the US site it has it ... i'm not going to buy it if i can't get an upgrade

 

Ya, thanks...I already looked into that. I bought my computer in May, so there was no offer code. So i actually need the offer code too, but no one seems to know whos responsible for it

 

If I remember well, there was a way to get a code even if you bought your computer in May... but I can't find how... I don't remember where I saw that...

 

Ya, theres suppose to be a way, but everyone at MSI has thier heads up their butt so no one knows what to tell me....I still didnt get a responce from the other person they forwarded my email to.

 

They don't answer the phone ... I called MSI Canada and I tried the sales department ... there are only two representatives and no one answers ... is there someone else we are supposed to call for answers?

 

I got a hold of the second guy (Japanese guy). But i posted what he said....MSI Canada has no instructions on what to do

 

so I call again today and the guy told me that the upgrade option is in construction and will be post on there website in three weeks so there's some hope

and if there's really two guy that work in the "call center" I spoke with the non Japanese one.... so If the Japanese say the same thing I guest that true.... if not...

 

Its on the world site now for Canada. You can register, but it doesnt have all the computers. It doesnt have the GT627, so i registered saying i had the gt735. Who knows what will happen now...
