Re: [H] Win 8 upgrade install.

[Winterlight]

Yes, I bought a DVD version from Newegg on sale with $40 MS Rebate 
for an eventual 30 bucks. I just thought I would keep that for a new 
laptop so I can upgrade to PRO. But it is the same thing as the 
download able version  upgrade disk = install within windows. I know 
there is a hack way of doing it but I do not trust MS enough not to 
have them install and update one day and then pop up and say your 
license isn't good for this install. Besides, this install looks fine 
to me .. no different then when I installed Windows 7 Pro on top of 
Windows 7 Home premium.. just delete the old windows folder and it is all good.

Winterlight,

If you opt the DVD version, you get a DVD shipped to you.  Before I 
did a clean
install I waited for the DVD to arrive.  Those days were hard on my nerves :)
