Did you know that you can upgrade from Windows Vista to Windows 7 for almost nothing? You only have to pay the cost of shipping ($9.99).
There is a catch though..
You must have purchased your copy of Vista between June 26, 2009 and January 31, 2010 to be eligible, and you also need to send a copy of your receipt to Microsoft.
In addition, you must have a version of Vista that corresponds to the version of Windows 7 that you want. More details below..

Here’s the address if your copy of Vista is eligible.
I had some issues opening the link before, so if the link above doesn’t work, go to this one and click the text that says “from Microsoft” at the bottom (in the disclaimer).
Screenshot of the link to search for, if the first one isn’t working..
