    The reason this is so is you installed your product key instead of bypassing an choosing installl later. I am going to eat dinner now and will be back in 30 minutes. Don't be discouraged a solution is there.

    i see
    what I would do is to reinstall the OS that should take about 30 min or less
    I would choose not to write a key but to activated later online option

    One problem with that is all the bloat will be back. Is the current install reporting genuine and validated?
