Dont do a clean install / swap HD until you upgrade.
So I thought ok time to upgrade this laptop. Give it a speed boost too, by putting in a new SSD.
However it won't allow me to activate because of Win 10 Activation failed (Error code: 0xC004C003) I think its because I didn't upgrade first, and just put the new HD in, and went in for ISO download and cleaned installed.
I should be ok, in that I can throw my old HD in, and then upgrade, and then hopefully put my SSD back in and try the activation again.. If that doesn't work, I guess i'll need to install Win7 all over again, install the 2GB of patches and then upgrade. ugh.
I wish MS would just allow us to use our older OEM product key.
