    So you got the code in to install Windows? The way to do that BTW with an upgrade version is install Windows and do not put a coa in which sets up a temporary 45 day license. The in Windows update the OS and this time put the coa in and it will work. For activation often times you simply have to put the code in again as if it wasn't there and if all else fails do a telephone activation and it will be accepted.

    I'm not familiar with that process and I don't have a coa in my code which is on the back of the plastic sleeve for the disc. I did attempt another activation but it wouldn't take it so I called Microsoft but the wait time is about 90 minutes. I will call them at an earlier time tomorrow unless I can do what you suggest.

    This morning I called Microsoft and the guy connected to my computer, the activation is now complete. The computer is running fine and I'm glad I'm on this side of the new build.

    Thank you for all the help! I will make this website part of my daily surf.
