If you're school qualifies from the dreamspark premium program, you're able to access free Windows software, including multiple OS's.

The DreamSpark Premium accounts have just been updated to include Windows 8.1

If you happen to have no need for a Windows 7 key I could gladly use one. PM me

No free Windows 8.1 for me I did get Server 2012 R2 and Visual Studio.

The premium accounts are where the free OS's can be found. The premium accounts are usually linked to IT/CIS courses or any field in the STEM program given the ok by Microsoft.

Hmm, I am showing Windows 8.1 "embedded." What ever the hell that is LOLOL

My Uni still hasn't deactivated my old Computer Science account. I dropped that major 2 years ago.

Ive used Dreamspark to build several computers already. No cost for OS.

It's basically the same thing. It has a lot of the features from the Pro version for remote management, but you're not required to use them.

you have to make sure you're school is signed up for premium accounts, the link should provide a school listing some where on there

Yeah it is premium, I see 198 things there. Got windows 8.1 a while ago, no office 2010 or 2013 though. Ah well.

I don't get it... I logged in to my school, various items show up (including free Windows 7 and 8.1), I try getting things, but it says I'm "not eligible". I click on the "My eligibility" link and it shows me this:

Organization: University of Redacted
User Groups: Students/Faculty/Staff
Verification Method: Verified by institution
Status: Verified (Expires 2015-01-14)

 

[danEboy83]

Sometimes, if your account is new, you have to be verified by the Schools Admin. However it does say your verified, maybe try to ask the admin directly through one of the help links on your school's hub page.

Just to let you know, this has always been the case and it isn't something new. Typically all students have access to it but certain departments get more software. Math, engineering, CS, etc usually get the OS keys.
