I think you can get a WIN7 student copy for a lot less than ordinary retail.
In fact you can...

I'm always wary about putting a newer OS onto an old machine as the hardware might not be up to the job. If it is just for usability "upgrading" from Vista to XP might be preferable. I did that with one of our laptops and it runs much better
Seems to have a high enough spec. Problems documented in reviews seem to be Vista rather than hardware related so 7 should be an improvementIt's not that old Graham.. It's a Sony VGN TZ2 1WN, about 2 year old, I want to upgrade for Charlotte starting senior school next month ..

Windows 7 is an improvement over Vista, but I am not convinced that I would upgrade an existing machine, not sure the benefit is worth the cost. There is also a risk of compatibility issues.
You say the reason for doing it is because charlotte is going to high school. If this is the only reason I would check what the school has, in my experience schools often have older systems and it might be better for her to have the same system as the school.
I used to run computer courses for U3A in a school and their machines were always several years behind what was commercially available.

Dumb question
How do they know if you are a student or not?

when you register you give the name of college or school with pupils name..
maybe it's just a loop hole to sell the software cheap .. and they don't actually check ?
