Neither am I, as it's a bit of a conundrum. In any event, I'll phone MS Australia today and run it by them and get to the bottom of it.
I'm also curious to know why it would not upgrade on Win 8.1, installed with my product code off the original purchase at PLE Computers ... with the message that the OS was not activated, when it showed it was activated on the System window.
Possibly MS have been so inundated with millions of persons world wide wanting to upgrade at the same time, that it's understandable glitches could occur. I also wonder if it has anything to do with pre-designated numbers of upgrades being despatched to any given country/locale. This would tally with the information given to me by the Telstra techo who said they've had numerous complaints of similar failures to complete the upgrade, and in particular at around the 75% point of installation.
Main thing is I've now been able to upgrade over W7 and W8 on 2 PCs, and still have W8.1 licence free.
