How to redeem Windows Upgrade Offer code - Windows 8 General

Okay, I am trying to redeem this code from which I will be able to download Windows 8 for $14.99.
But when I run the Upgrade assistant, I get this.

I am running Windows 8 RTM, I know that RTM is the reason why it doesn't work as I need Windows 7. But since I don't have any Windows 7 PCs at home, how can I redeem my code?
Cheers

I'm sorry, I think Windows 8 isn't very good, but i may be able to help you...
The computer you are trying to use probably came with Windows 7, right? So, back up your data and reinstall Windows 7, then install Windows 8 and put back your data.
Yes, I know that this is tedious, but it will work.

troubelschout complicatie or whatever its called then try recomended setting xp sp3 and voila it works.
had the same problem on windows 8

If you do a clean install of W7 and upgrade that to 8, that would be a clean install and most likely run better than having all of the programs from Release Preview leave back files that mess with the Final Copy

I had RTM, so basically final build. Thanks to ****rbeer I have managed to get a product key out of that program.

I had installed windows 8 pro with clean install ... No problem at all...
Running fine...

x86 program emulator on Wizzard (WM 5.0)?

Hi!
Do you know if there is a working x86 emulator for our pocket PC devices?
I don't need speed, just compatibility. I'd like to use some special tiny program, that was written for windows 95, on my Wizzard.
I know some guys were installing some old "ordinary" windows on pocket pc devices, so there should be hope for me?
any information welcomed.
greetings from slovenia!
Admit it, you just want to play Star Flight.... I miss that game
Mamaich has a working version of Bochs I think, on his website. However, I don't think you'll get windows installed.
Where have you seen old windows binaries running on the PDA?

Veloxi on the WM platform...I'd buy that for a dollar!
I just have to add this:

I saw a russian site where they guy had a dos emulator. but I do not belive it emulated the hardware needed for Win95. You are better off with a terminal service session on WinVNC, which I ise from my phone to a server in my data center.
I found this site (in German) showing pics of working windows 95 on a PPC:
http://people.freenet.de/renmi/ppc/
now we just have to find some manual describing how to do that

LOL...that looks cool but man, that has to be slow! Should be interesting to see what comes of it.
Guys, you can see that it says that it uses Bochs. As I said above, I think Mamaich has a release of it, or at least it should be generally available. That's a free, open source x86 emulator.

bochs - failure
hi. I am trying to play with bochs and dlxlinux
I have downloaded everything needed [except bochscr.txt - cant find it] but I think bochsrc.bxrc included with dlxlinux is good for me.
when I try to run it from dos box [functionality of pocket contoller] cpu grows to 100% for 1-2 sec and falls back to normal[0-3%].
every configuration I try cause same effect. on dos box nothing happens. no log produced [it is in configuration].
any ideas? anyone tryed it with success?
I run it with ..\bochs -q -f bochsrc.bxrc. ofcourse all files are correct.
Files are from http://mamaich.uni.cc/fr_pocket.htm

[Q] Graphics Driver Problem...

Hi, i installed Windows 8 on my Laptop and all is well even aero works (which it normally doesnt in windows 7 and vista), ok... not everything; my graphics driver will NOT install. No matter what i do, (compatibility mode, different driver, older driver, newer driver) it just doesnt work, gives me an error message:
{

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
My Graphics card is a Via P4M800 or Via/S3G UniChrome Pro IGP (yes i know the worst as can be, but my me or my dad didn't know this while buying off ebay)
I know there is know WDDM driver but aero seems to work- even without a driver
Please give me a driver, I cant play any games and aero lags and so does basic
ANYONE?!?! please help me... bump
This is a developer preview. This is at pre-beta stage. Give folks a chance to come up with drivers for it or for existing drivers to be tweaked.
but i heard all windows 7 drivers work, not all really
try install the .net framework 3.5
I have ati 6630m graphics card.
i tried it and it start working.
or
download the latest driver and install from the source
or from here:
download.cnet.com/VIA-S3G-UniChrome-Pro-IGP/3000-2108_4-146347.html
In the device Properties dialog box, click the Driver tab, and then click Update Driver to start the Hardware Update Wizard. Follow the instructions to update the driver.
or if that does not work
then download the latest driver then go to device manager and update through manually finding the location of the driver.
sometimes it works.
Did you run it as admin?
remember disabling UAC doesn-t do anything more than just don't display the uac message.
but if you don't run it as admin some programs and installation wont work. and when in tried to install drivers without running as admin it didn't work. until i ran it as admin.
drivers should work. so i wonder if you ran it as admin.

install .net Framework 4, WP SDK 7.1 and Zune
and use XAPDeployX
P.S.
if you use Windows 8, you need to install
1. Games for Windows Marketplace Client
2. WP SDK 7.1
3. Windows Phone SDK 7.1.1 Update
is there WP SDK 7.1 for WINXP?..

yes generally use Windows 7 (on laptop for flashing and other "playing" with phones) and also have Windows 8 Pro on PC computer...
Would like to join this question. Im suing same rom, but 7.8 version (v8.9).
As I don't have Activation Code now (will try tomorrow, maybe Monday) I cannot use Marketplace, but I would like to have Youtube and some other free apps installed.
How can I use Xap Deployer (the one installed on device)? Or maybe not how to use, but how to make it see .xap file?
When I connect it to PC, Zune starts and I don't see if it has a way to copy this files.
When I turn it off and use WP7USBStogrageEnabler I got HTC HD2 Media Device with Storage inside it, but its empty (no folders or files, but it's capacity is the same as Internal Memory I gave my HD2).
I can copy any file, but than cannot find it on device itself. If I connect it again to PC, the file is there, so it exist...

*RETIRED*[GUIDE]{My first}How to install W10 w/o the Get Windows App

Hey guys,ever wondered how you will get w10 on your pc w/o the necessary earlier updates or too impatient to wait for the update to be Downloaded?Here's the catch.
1)Make sure you're on an ELIGIBLE windows version (7-8.1) and not on Windows RT or enterprise.
2)Check what bit architecture your Pc is,either 32 or 64.
3)If you have checked everything,now,download the Windows 10 media creation tool from here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/media-creation-tool-install based on your bit architecture
4)Open up the executable file as administrator and click Upgrade now
5)It will now show Downloading win10 and followed by creating media.If you want to speed up the process,just connect a LAN cable to your modem ��
6)It will show preparing... Just sit back and relax
7)Now it will say checking for updates and the end-user licence agreement.
8)Just click accept and choose what files you want to keep

Have you ever gotten this error?Here's the solution
As a first try,reboot your Pc and try again.If the problem persists,
Try this:
1)Right-click on the windows logo and click 'run'.
2)type 'services.msc' and push enter
3)Scroll down to windows update and double tap
4)Now,change the default setting of Manual to either automatic or automatic(delayed start)
5)Hit apply
6)Scroll up to windows store and tap once
7)Now click 'start'
8)Make sure both windows update and store display 'running'
9)Now restart your windows store and the problem SHOULD be fixed
10)If it still persists,surf the web for other solutions.If they too don't work,contact the Microsoft help center.If they can't help you either,unfortunately you MAY have to perform a factory data reset.(Do remember to take a backup)
This solution was crafted by me and works for my pc but it may not work on yours so don't blame me if something happens to your pc(highly unlikely).

this will help you but if you previously disabled this settings to prevent windows update from downloading automatically, you caught server stumbled.
you have no choice but to start windows update.
Actually,I don't think any of the windows apps work with that disabled.Correct me if I'm wrong!

yes. indeed. i try to modify the registry where windows update is there but i've got troubled when i try to access windows store and microsoft account log-in. therefore, activating by delay from services will also help to access windows store.
