I was on Win8 & found an area where it says "Get the latest updates for Win8.
I clicked on it & the first thing it asked me was the registration no. for Win8.
I was very careful to note the reg no. but it was refused. I tried several times with no luck.
What do I do now?

Add Features - This is the new name for "Anytime Upgrades" - you buy a new product license key, enter it, and after checking its validity, Microsoft automatically downloads and installs the new product to your system. In Windows 8 RP you can for instance upgrade to the MCE (Media Center Edition) by entering the (free) key:
MBFBV-W3DP2-2MVKN-PJCQD-KKTF7
if you have the Professional edition of Windows 8 RP installed already.
If you have the core edition of Windows 8 RP you need first upgrade that to Professional by entering the product key:
TK8TP-9JN6P-7X7WW-RFFTV-B7QPF
and let that upgrade perform before you can apply the MCE upgrade.
