Hey all,
Going slightly mad about this. I used to have my Windows 8 install on a hard drive, moved it over to my SSD, all fine.
Now, I have a different motherboard. So why is the activation telling me it's already in use on another PC? It's the same SSD, and from what I recall the Windows 8 Pro upgrade key is in fact a retail key (so it isn't embedded into the BIOS).
Tried their phone activation thing, but I know they're only active in the week days.
Any other method I could try? I've got everything up and running now and don't fancy another (6th time) install
I don't see the problem, it's the same SSD. I've tried installing just 8, installing Win7 then Win8, Win8 and Win8 again.
Cheers all

So if you have a retail vista license then your windows 8 upgrade will also be retail.
