I want to go get a TechNet subscription to test some Windows software before I buy it.

I want to replicate upgrading Windows 7 to Windows 8 with specific software in a virtual machine then see how stable or if possible to do it at all. I looked at the list of software but they only show Windows 8 Pro or Enterprise.

Do you know if there is an Windows 7 to 8 Upgrade ISO available for Technet Standard or Pro?

I have done this myself previously - the Windows 8 Pro media (which is the same on Technet as MSDN) can be used to upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 8 Pro.

Running Setup from the CD (or .iso image if you are using a program to mount it) within Windows 7 allows you to perform the in-place upgrade.
