How can you receive your Windows 7 upgrade?

A Microsoft form can be included by computer manufacturers with computer’s distributed with qualifying Windows Vista versions preinstalled or on after June 26, 2009. If your computer is already installed with Windows Vista ultimate, Windows Vista Business, or Windows Vista Home Premium and you have purchased it on and after June 26, 2009 but the described form is not included in it, verify for it with computer manufacturer to see if your PC is the part of the Upgrade Option Program.
