    I'm wanting to do a clean install on my new hard drive, but I don't want to install my win 7 first, so I'll have to wait to see why win8 is activating for some and not for others.
    What about the registry MediaBootInstall flag? I had to change this to activate my win7 clean installs.

    It seems weird. Did you need to enter the key during the installation? I hate Microsoft for these kind of bs, why don't they allow me to redownload with the code I ALREADY HAVE?

    The upgrade key you have will probably work with any win8 pro iso, as long as you upgrade/install from within Win7.

    So at the very end you have option to create media and choose USB or ISO. I chose ISO.
    All good now. :clap3:

    So its impossible to have a fresh install of win8 pro directly from the iso downloaded from win8 upgrade assistant?
