Here are some important points to note as mentioned on the Windows blog. Users can access the upgrade edition of Windows 8 Pro on an online basis.

This pack is offered for free at the moment.

For those users who are looking forward to purchase a cheaper version after January 31, Microsoft offers a different version unlike the original Windows 8 Pro version at a price of $119.99 (Rs.6, 600 approx). But users won't be able to experience all the interesting features just as in the original version. Even though this is not as budget friendly like the promotional unit offered now, the pricing is far better compared to the original version.

As per the Windows blog, users are now rushing to purchase the promotional version of Windows 8 Pro upgrade before the month of January ends.
