Cannot update Windows 7 with upgrade of Windows 8 so that I've already paid.

Earlier, I bought a Windows 8 Pro upgrade. Recently, I rebuilt my computer by using the Windows 7 installer that came with the PC (Home Premium). I now turn to the 8 Pro window using the key that I've already paid for.

When I use the Updgrade Wizard of Windows 8, it tells me that Windows 8 is not available in my area.

When I use the Windows 8.1 Upgrade Wizard, he asks me if I want to pay $100 + for win 8.1 or nearly $200 to win 8.1 Pro.

I want just to get my upgrade product key I bought already and get my life back.

Anyone know how I might be able to do this?

Thank you, Jayant Gupta, but none of the suggestions worked.

What I ended up doing was downloading a copy of Windows 8 on MSDN developers and this website accepted my installation key during an upgrade to windows 7.

So now I have an authentic installation of Windows 8 Pro and after a few rounds of updates to get to 8.1, I'll be all ready for 10.

Thanks again.

    Hello

    There has been a lot of problems using svn with dw, and I know many people who have stopped trying to operate correctly.

    As much as I know dw will not work with newer versions of svn (over 1.5), and even then, there are a lot of problems, a possible solution is to try subweaver (at- http://code.google.com/p/subweaver/ ), as this has solved some of the problems associated with the use of tsvn dw environment.

  • Cannot update Windows / / Windows think that its true / / Windows Explorer crash

    BACK STORY: Windows told me that my old HDD is faulty and I need to replace it. I therefore created a system disk image and restore the HARD drive fault and buy a new. I have restored my image for the new HARD drive, and apparently some of the system files that got copied have been corrupted.

    I'll HAVE PROBLEMS: The main problem I encounter is that windows will not update. I'll go to the start menu and try to choose windows update and it will sit in the windows Explorer screen blank until it crashes. This is the only time that windows Explorer will crash it's fine otherwise. If I have correctly interpreted my read, inability to update windows is caused by the software is is not authentic. Which brings me to the next point.
    Windows don't think that it is authentic, even if I see the CDKEY in the system information window and when I hit "Activate Windows" in the search bar in the start menu, that it says "Activation was successful." I get a window saying: http://imgur.com/OQlZDhR I thought that I humor the system and try and validate it although this Web site: http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/validate/DownloadValidationSupport.aspx?displaylang=en when I try and install the software Validation of Windows, I get this error: http://imgur.com/8lb0abR 
    TECHNICAL issues: I bought my computer from a major retailer with Windows Vista, he came with an OS disk. I've then upgraded to Windows 7 a few months after it is released and subsequently lost the installation disk that really means nothing because it is not the full operating system. So, indeed, I have no way to find my drive upgrade for windows reinstall/repair, which is what I would have done originally.
    What I DID: I ran the command " Sfc/scannow " to the command window and he returned with: http://imgur.com/OD6WygE when I try and access the .log for this, he tells me access denied and I can't access the safe my life.
    QUESTION: Is there something I can do to fix this? Something like a Windows download different difficulty tool or something else that I don't know who's going to help me fix the windows before going outside and by a new Windows 7 disc to repair the files?
    Thank you for your time

    Hello again,

    Thought I would let you know that I've finally sorted this! :)

    In another forum I read a post from someone who had a similar problem and solved it by uninstalling the "failures" updated, restart the PC and then re-run the update. It worked! It had not occurred to me to try what I've assumed that 'impossible' meant that they had not installed at all, not that they didn't had simply not installed correctly and must have become corrupt.

    I hope this will help someone else who has the same problem, I've had!
