    downgrade from w8 pro wmc to w8 pro:
    regedit
    hkey local machine => software => microsoft => windows nt => current version
    export current version reg backup
    change edition id from "ProfessionalWMC" to just "Professional"
    run install disk
    select "upgrade"
    it should bypass the "unable to downgrade" checker if it's able to complete compliance check
    if that doesn't fix 100% you may have to delete the "WMC" in the digitalproductid4 binary

    note: this has taken from somewhere in this forum.

    Thanks guys finally got it. Used all the instructions above set the DNS. Didn't work at first so used tunnelbroker Set up the tunnel and set the firewall rule. Tried again and beyond my expections it worked. Tried the Go Go thing. But it said it wasn't compatiable with my current windows which was a big deal.

    I was able to activate by:
    Downloaded gogo and tried it but said it needed .NET Framework 2.0 (oh well)
    Changed dns IPv4 to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
    slmgr /skms benderrodriguez-1-pt.tunnel.tserv28.waw1.ipv6.he.net
    slmgr /ato
    .
    SUCCESS! ...but then none of the start page apps were working. They each crashed when I tried to use them.
    .
    So I reinstalled Windows 8 and now that same technique no longer works. Anyone know what's happening?
