I got the RTM version of Windows 8 Pro. Microsoft let me use the product key I got when I bought the Pro upgrade over a month ago. It installed without a hitch the first try. :)

Finally!! I just got and installed Windows 8 Pro RTM over the release preview 8 I had installed last week over my Windows 7 Ultimate. Thanks you guys for all your suggestions, advice and help. This forum is better than all the Microsoft ones I've been trying to get help from since Jan 20th!
