Hello:

Before I go to bed here after messing with this half the night, I can't
install Window 8 Pro over the existing Win 8 non Pro on my new Toshiba
Satellite laptop. It's ridiculous. I really don't care what's on this HD
from Toshiba. I formatted it anyway so it's gone. This laptop has the
ability to work with SLAT or virtualization. I need to enable hyper-v
which is on Win 8 Pro. But Win 8 Pro will not overlay the existing O/S
even after I booted off of the dvd and went through the install process
on a format and install from the upgrade dvd.

When looking at the O/S description about Windows 8 after the install,
it says it just Windows 8 and not Windows 8 Pro. And in the Install
Programs and Features/Windows Components, the Hyper-V is not there to
install and enable it in the list. And the product key is not the key
for Windows 8 Pro. The key is for the Win 8 that was already installed.

I think the main problem is during the install process, it never stops
and asks for the Win 8 Pro product-key. Whatever is happening, I need to
come around this stupid problem. I am tired of it.

For now, I am going to bed. What can I do oh what can I do to get Win 8
pro installed on this stupid machine.
