[quote=AN]Unfortunately flu, you’re SOL, since you have an upgrade license. Why didn’t you buy a full version back then? It was only ~$20-40 back when it first came out. Full version would let you do both upgrade and full install. But to fix your problem, I have Windows 7 CD you can install, then immediate upgrade to Windows 8 if you want.[/quote]
Because I was stupid….
Anyway, I did find out that installing windows 8 without entering a key, and then doing an in place upgrade from the same installation using an upgrade key works… I actually found the information from vwware’s website, because they recommend rather than trying to upgrade from a virtualized windows7 to windows8 upgrade, just do a fresh install of windows8…
Glad that worked. Otherwise I would have had to go searching for my *cough* windows vista CD’s….
It’s funny. No matter how proactive I try in backing shit up, and having failover. Somewhere along the line, something new always happens…..
