So, if you’re seriously looking to buy Windows 8.1, you might need to look at some cheap Windows 8.1 upgrade offers that are in the market.

I’ll be frank with you and tell you that there are not too many discounts on Windows 8.1, as Microsoft has always been “cheesy” from this point of view, maintaining a high price for its software.

Anyway, these are the Windows 8.1 discount options that we have found, if you know of any others, do let us know.

This student-only Windows 8.1 discount requires verification of student status prior to purchase, which is usually done with a .edu email address or is dealt by the administration of your school or university. You are also limited to five copies of Windows 8.1 during an entire year.
