Both of my win 8 upgrade CD's boot and install fine. I did clean installs with all my win 7 upgrades too (all 13 of them). I was under the impression that all the discs are the same and the only difference is the key to determine which version loads. FYI, mine were both win 8 pro upgrades. Don't know if that makes any difference. They are bootable though.
