During install, did you tell it to do an upgrade or 'custom'? When I do a fresh install with my upgrade license it always tells me the key is invalid if I try to put it in during the initial install.

Figured as much, I was just wondering if it might say it's doing an upgrade, but actually do a clean install if it see XP. Weird; it must treat Home and Pro keys differently...wouldn't be the first time MS did something weird like that I suppose.Originally Posted by SXRguyinMA

yea I tried it for giggles, and if you click upgrade, it checks the system, tells you that it's not possible to upgrade and to do a fresh install
