[QUOTE="pkw1024, post: 191655, member: 14858"] I purchased a Windows 8 Pro x64 Installation DVD from Staples for $ 69.95 back in late October 2012 but I have never been able to get Windows 8 to do the upgrade. I tried everything a person with 22 years experience would try including a ton of suggestions offered here and at other forums. When I first tried to do the upgrade, It failed at 83% and failed after several other attempts. Now at Feb 2013 it won't even start the install upgrade process. Consider this: The new price listed at MS store for Windows 8 Pro upgrade is 249.00 upgrade.?? really?? The requirements insist you must be running Windows 7 or other qualifying version so I must assume they do mean upgrade. As of October 2012 I have not been able to use a purchased totally legal DVD copy of Windows 8 Pro 64 bit to do the upgrade. This problem affected an Asus P7P55D-E Pro M Board and now an Asus P8Z77-V Pro/Thunderbolt. I am however able to install or reinstall Windows 7 Pro xc64 with a bootable 4 gb thumb drive from a windows 7 pro x64 ISO file. But it cannot be done using the DVD. I assume I could use the license key I purchased IF I could get a copy of Windows 8 Pro x64 as an ISO image. I have read a lot of alarming things about what is going on with EMM ES (MS) Also that IO error I/O Error 0xc00000e9 I/O Error 0xc00000e9 happens when trying to boot with and install windows 8 cheers, pkw [/QUOTE]
