Marhaba QL!

I hope you could help me with a little dilemma here. See, I bought this HP laptop (dv6-1210ee) a month back and it is confirmed to be eligible for a free Windows 7 upgrade from HP only to find out that it's not free in terms of shipping costs because I have to pay for it which in turn requires a credit card. I'm only a student here in Doha so I don't have one. Could you please advise me a way I can get that upgrade?

Thanks in advanced ;)

@galloper48: thanks for the advice but it's a must to have a CC to pay for the shipping and I've already confirmed that I am eligible. thanks anyways ;)

@anwar: Windows Update isn't an option here because this is a major OS upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 unlike a service pack upgrade.

Just upgrade through windows updates as simple as possible.

If you are really entitled to a "free" upgrade why not take it over on the internet??

Thus you won't need a CC to complete the transaction.

Is my suggestion.

Regards!
