    Windows 7 upgrade for Lenovo Y550

    Hi everyone,

     I bought this laptop 2 months ago and I thought I have a free upgrade from Lenovo. I called today Lenovo today and they told me because I got it from Newegg, I don't qualify for the free upgrade. Is this true? I read some reviews from newegg users that they upgraded to Windows 7. How did you guys do that? Through the free upgrade program from Lenovo? 

     Thanks.

    Yes, they told me that because it's purchased from a reseller (i.e. newegg), the upgrade would come from newegg.

    Customers with eligible Lenovo PCs can check out Lenovo's site for the latest on how to get an upgrade. It's a good idea to have your system's seven-digit product number handy, as it's requested at some point in the process. For ThinkPads and 3000 series laptops, you can find it on a sticker at the bottom of your system (it's labeled "Type"). For ThinkCentre, NetVista, and 3000 series desktops, the sticker can be found on the front right panel or on the back of the tower. Those who order an upgrade and are found to be eligible will be sent a CD.
