With the recent Windows XP End Of Life we’re sure many readers will be looking to update their operating system, or build new computers, making this a timely and useful prize.
DCT is pretty much the ‘home’ of Windows 8/8.1. Dave, myself, Richard, and Marc are all running Windows 8.1 and we all like the new operating system. Between us, we have written and published numerous articles, all drawn from first hand experience – guides, tips, how-tos, and the like – to help users setup and manage their new operating system making DCT a terrific resource for anyone running Windows 8.1 and you can access all those articles in the one place by visiting the Windows 8 Category in the right hand navigation panel.

Thanks for such a great giveaway!
I already have Windows 8.1 on my system but I could REALLY use another copy for a system I am building for my wife who is a medical transcriptionist.
Ok, I don’t know why but even refreshing the page doesn’t work, I tried on three different browsers.
However here are the twitter and facebook posts to verify ……

Ed,
I’ve checked the contest entries and you are correct there is only one entry showing for your email address. There are numerous other entrants with the correct number of entries and no other complaints. Is it possible that you have javascript disabled – or are blocking one of the scripts running on DCT?
Thank you Jim, for your kindness in offering a worthy product, and a chance to win something good in our crumbling society, which offers the public
little indeed.
Thank you Jim for this offer….This could help me exit from Win XP for good with no fears.
Hope to replace desktop
Eu quero atualizar o meu computador para um sistema operacional mais recente e fácil de usar.
I’ll use it in a round-about 2 computer upgrade. I’d upgrade my 7 to 8.1 and then my XP to 7. Since I have a game on my XP that will not work with 8.1 but will on 7.
Thanks Jim, Love your giveaways, simple and easy to read.

Good Luck everyone!
This is a great opportunity! Thank you very much. I would really love to upgrade my pc, this is a great chance indeed. Please count me in on the draw. Thank you and GOD Bless everyone here 🙂
I would upgrade my 5 years old system and enjoy the new possibilities Windows 8.1 provides.
I’d love to give Win8 a whirl, but can’t afford it. Thanks for the chance guys!
Good luck to all!
I have win7 now I want to upgrade to win 8.1
On all my laptops I have Windows 8.1 . Only one missing Windows 8.1 is my gaming PC. Love to win an update that system to Windows 8.1
I have Windows 7 on my laptop and this is a great opportunity to upgrade it to Windows 8.1.
Thanks for this opportunity Jim. Love ‘Dave’s Computer Tips’. I’m already running this version of Win but as per my previous attempt at this prize I’m attempting to win for a retired female neighbour and a friend of my wife who is still running XP. I’m hoping if I win and present her with a copy of Win 8.1 she’ll have no option but to let me upgrade her to the ‘better protected’ version. Again many thanks.
A chance to upgrade a desktop … nice!
I plan to update my laptop to 8.1 to simplify the changeover at work.
I hated Windows 8 when I first got an HP desktop with Windows 8 pre-installed. But after I found out about and installed Start Menu 8, I soon got used to it – although I still don’t like the way I have to exit one game app and then go back to the Metro screen to select a different game to play! However I would love to install Windows 8.1 x 64 bit on my old Acer desktop that I keep as a spare;-)
I just bought a laptop for my daughter who just started college. She ask me questions about how to do thing on Windows 8 but since I use Windows 7 most of the time I don’t know the answer. I will like to upgrade my Win 7 system so I can learn it and be able to help my daughter. Thanks for the opportunity.
WINDOWS 8.1 IS COOL OPERATING SYSTEM WITH LOTS OF AMAZING APPS
I would love to upgrade to Windows 8.1 from my current Windows 7. Always like trying new systems when I can.Great to have an opportunity to do so.
I would love to have this to upgrade my windows vista laptop.
