Submit a Refund or Exchange Request via WPS Support
Reach out to the customer support team to verify your order details and process a refund or exchange for the correct Windows version.
In many cases, modern software installers are universally compatible across multiple Windows versions. The support team will first verify if your purchased product can already run on Windows 8.
If the software is strictly incompatible and falls within the eligible refund period, the support team will cancel the purchase and process your refund. Alternatively, they can provide you with the correct Windows 8 compatible version.
Check your email inbox for the purchase confirmation receipt to find your Order ID, purchase date, and the exact product name you were charged for.
Navigate to the official WPS Support center and select the 'Orders & Billing' or 'Contact Us' option to open a support ticket.
Explain clearly that you mistakenly purchased the Windows 7 version instead of the Windows 8 version. Include your Order ID and state whether you prefer a full refund or an exchange for the correct version.
