Okay. So I installed Windows 8 Pro from a clean install and tried to use an Upgrade license key.
As I have read here this will not work. But, the fix listed in the tutorial section in this board
did not work, either.
Was the fix for someone who had already activated it from a Windows 7 Upgrade (Install 8 over 7)
and now wants to install Windows 8 from a clean install??
I have another computer I want to install Windows 8 with an upgrade license. It currently has Windows
7. If I run the upgrade of 8 over 7, it should then activate? But then if I install 8 from a clean install
afterwards, will I avoid the problem where it won't activate?
Just trying to figure this out...
