Hey guys
I just wanted to ask if any of you had attempted to install a fresh install of windows 8 from an upgrade key.
The deal is i am building a photo editing rig for my gf's dad and i recently put an SSD in his laptop which i am using in the build ( which had windows 7 installed on it.)
I wanted to do a clean install as i hate installing OS's over each other but i only bought the following windows key from amazon hoping to just do a clean install, but I have heard that there are various error codes which are sometimes thrown up if you try and fresh install with an upgrade key. It never used to be an issues with windows 7.
Just wondering if any has had any experience doing this. Fresh install, using a upgrade key to active, for windows 8 specifically.
Cheers guys.
