I find it annoying I had to get make a gparted usb but I did get it installed. Right now I am getting all my settings set. I must have something set funny because it is very sluggish. When I tried to activate it told me that I could not because I had an upgrade code not a clean install code with that error in the above post. I tried the rededit and it didn't allow me to activate.
