    @Admin: but don't you need a legal version of a full OS first to overlay the Win 8 upgrade?
    No. I had a pirated version of windows 7 ultimate x64 cracked with daz loader, and I upgraded to a legal copy of windows 8 pro absolutely fine. Do I get some rep for this?
    I am Brad. I do more than the needful and drive the market rates up by not bobbing my head.

      You'll be prompted to put in an earlier windows version disk at some point. No need to actually install the earlier version.

              Yes you did. You'll find that we don't approve of pirating software.

                      I always used to love upgrading versions of Crystal Reports. It checked to see if it could fine the CRW.EXE on your machine and if it did it allowed the upgrade. I spend years turning up on client sites with an upgrade only version, opening notepad and saving a blank file called CRW.EXE.
                      What happens in General, stays in General.
