    Greetings,
    If I'm right the -WZT distributions installs preactivated Core edition as I see in system info dialog.
    Any chance to upgrade this to Enterprise without clean OS reinstall from Enterprise DVD?
    Beyond that I'd appreciate a link for Enterprise activation guide (if any present), hanks in advance.

    Thanks. I'm trying now with Enterprise ISO (run from Core desktop) and got this error:
    Windows 8.1 won't run on this computer.
    Explanation:
    System reserved partition can't be updated.

    Any resolution? I'd like to keep existing account and data if possible.
