You will still need a valid activation code. Which as far as I can tell

comes from the attempt to get windows. Then again maybe it's on the disk as

usual.

One thing though, it is worth trying the online tester in case the PC is no

good. I updated 6 of mine but one of the others using win7 will not update

because the processor does not have the exclude bit (Pentium 4 3.0 sinlge

core). Win 8 uses that for virus control, and probably software control.

From what I've read the downloaded version looks for a valid Windows

installation, the disk version may be different.
