Re: Failing Windows 8 Upgrade - Resolved

Once you're content with the way things are running you can reclaim some

Yeah, disk space isn't a problem yet but I do have about 3 copies of the PC backed up. I should do another backup and then take out that directory.

This morning I upgraded my Win7 Ultimate desktop to Win8 Pro. It went
pretty fast, which it should with a 4.3GHz (overclocked) i5, 16GB RAM, and
a SATA III SSD. I sent the request off for the Media Center license key
but haven't received it yet. It can take a few hours.

It's more than a few hours, my key took 48 hours to be received. People found out that the key sent could also license a Win 8 installation so I think they're doing a cross check with email addresses that bought the W8 upgrades.
