Alterations to Microsoft Operating Systems means wholesale changes in Top Value. Pretty much the entire SKU selection has been refreshed so during this transition there is no place better than iQuote to help you source stock and ensure that you sell out residual SKUs with Downgrade rights on the Operating System. Here’s a great graphic from HP to remind people why Workstations are so exciting!

Here’s a list of the new SKUs that we’ve put into iQuote to support this transition:
