Hey there i have bought a window's 8 code a while ago, and uh yea, i installed a fresh windows 8 and manage to get the code working last time through the cmd, but now it's saying that its an upgrade code not a fresh install....

anyway of activating my windows 8 pro? i need to get rid of the watermark for gameplay recordings.
 
Solution
Your best bet is to start the 8 install from within Windows and run an upgrade. That will reinstall it as an upgrade and allow the code to work.
