Here's a doozy, that even the Microsoft tech team said I should roll back and do an upgrade from win 8.1
After being a member of the beta-test program I thought I'd install the retail build, which is available from MS here. Installed it no worries, but would not accept my old 8.1pro keys from TechNet. no worries just hit skip and finish install.
once in windows try to update my product key, no luck. Tried phone activation, no luck. Spoke with tech, keys are good. Gave tech remote access to my machine, still no luck... Even gave me a virgin win10 key which had issues.
Eventually they suggest I remove win10, install win8.1 and do an upgrade to win 10... But I want a clean install, that's the point of getting the ISO from Microsoft.
Anyone else have a similar issue? or any pointers
Regards
Jordan
