Well, I did as you suggested and posted on the thread, but then dug a little deeper and found that the ShowKeyPlus coder was last active six days ago. :/ I don't know if I have that sort of patience. I guess I'll probably just try it myself when I get home and then if it doesn't work, I'll go through booting on the system image disc and then trying to upgrade while still in Windows 7. Ha, wish me luck.
Looks like everything went alright! Thanks for the help Cliff.
@Superfly No worries; I'm sure you're a busy guy on the forum and it was a pretty minor issue in the scheme of things anyway. I'm afraid I was not able to get the key from the backup, but that might be due to user error more than anything. If I recall correctly, I didn't even know what file type I was looking to open when the windows explorer dialogue box popped up and the folder hierarchy inside the backup was so confusing I just decided it would be easier to use my system image disc and start over. Ha, sorry I couldn't be of more help.
