I think you misunderstood what I meant... the Windows 8 PRO upgrade
disk... what MS was selling a year ago for $25 download and $50

and it will only install over a qualified OS = XP, Vista, Win 7 with
a legal activated license.

in the old days I think they did or we booted to a boot disk with cd
support and ran setup from there.
I think the new stuff if smarter.
Memory is a little fussy.
Remember when cd installs needed drivers ?
