Thanks Brink, but were exactly will the Key go to,where i can retrieve it? Figuring if i use my regular e-mail i will know where to find it. Microsoft said they were having problems with there server that does the digital downloads, not sure about that since had me on hold for an hour, accidently hung up on me, had to call back, then they told me this.


Sorry i know where to get my live.com mail.
I tried your method using that e-mail, still no luck " We could not process your order" then telling me try to use a different method of payment, which i tried, twice.:shock:

If the order is successfully processed, it will send you an order confirmation email to the email address you entered on the order form.

If you're using a proxy, then it will not work.

Problem is it never gets that far for me, does not go past the order complete process "We couldn't process your order".

No, not using a proxy, guessing Microsoft may be right, having an issue with this. Thanks!

You may need to find an online retailer to purchase a legal retail copy of Windows 8 Pro from.
