In my region I can get it from microsoft from here:

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-GB/windows/buy?ocid=GA8_O_WOL_DIS_ShopHP_FPP_Light

Clicking the download button on that link will download the Windows Upgrade Assistent which will walk you through the process of upgrading an existing windows installation.


Note that if you have purchased a PC with Windows 7 (or Windows 7 on its own) recently, you may be able to get the upgrade free from the place you bought it, or from windows via the Windows Upgrade Offer


If you don't own a version of windows you need the System Builder version, for example from here:
