Upgrade Perfect Now Should I Clean Install

What is it doing ?

You should not have to enter a key.

You did a upgrade first and now a clean install will not need a key as it and all your hardware spec's are stored on MS's server's.

They will be tied to the clean install.

second line i never knew, makes me confident i will be o.k. with clean install.

i see thru my bios that i cannot choose usb when i hit f12?

I've done a couple of clean installs after the upgrade process and they have all activated fine

Did mine on day of launch, many had issues activating then, some causes said to be on MS and there server overload. Mine has been good so far, since then. Only did one clean install after upgrade, worked perfect.

i took usb out now seems doing its thing

thank god finally installed, now for the journey of installing all my programs back
