Windows 7 1 month trail with Toshiba

[blue2]

Hi

My mum recently brought a Toshiba laptop from Tesco's and when we were deciding which one to get we expalined that she would only really use it for the internet, emailing and letters. When we got it back a computer expert come over to put some stuff off the hard drive from the old pc. While he was here he said that we would have to buy Windows 7 programme for £80 as the one on the laptop is only a month trail. I was surprised at this as I thought it would be on the laptop automatically and the man selling it to us didn't memtion it. My mum's phoned Tesco's and spoke to the man that sold it and he said he didn't know anything about the month trail and having talked to other pepole they also have never heard of this. Has anyone eles had this problem?

Thanks in advance and I hope this made sense!

Did she have to pay the £80?

I suggest she demands it back from Tesco if she did.

Are you sure he didn't mean the Microsoft Office program? I have never heard of a trial version of Windows.

I have a Toshiba laptop bought at Tesco. Windows 7 is pre installed. The months trial was for Microsoft office which you can still use after the month is up but without some of the features. Sounds as if its the 'techie' who is pulling a fast one not Toshiba or Tesco!

Thanks very much for your help with this.

We haven't brought the £80 programme and don't need to from the advice of Mrsspangnolia57 and your right Daffy I meant Mirosoft Office!

Thanks again
