Alright, so to start off, I have a custom built PC running windows 7 SP1:
AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.4ghz processor
AMD HD 7770 ghz edition graphics card
8gb ddr5 high speed gaming ram
500gb internal HDD
ASUS M5A97 Motherboard
500W power supply
My problem is, I want to do a clean install from windows 7 to windows 8. My school gives free copies of windows 8 upgrade, so I have a verified serial key, I just had to check out with a special code. It gives me a link to download the Windows 8 Setup exe that is supposed to let me input my serial key and then guide me through upgrading. Problem is when I launch it and enter my serial key, it recognizes it fine, but when I click next I get this:
after maybe 20 seconds of loading, it gives me this:
and thats the only option I get.
I tried running the upgrade assistant, and it won't let me just download an ISO of windows 8 without purchasing it through the upgrade assistant.
Any help? I think I need to either somehow get my hands on a windows 8 ISO, or figure out whats wrong with the upgrade exe.
