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 lice
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 ?

I don't know if Win8 supports a side-by-side upgrade installation -
that's something I haven't tried. All the literature I've seen only
talks of in-place upgrades.
The custom install option might do what you're looking for, but I'm not
sure.
