Might be a good idea to list problems...
I downloaded the 'bargain' upgrade version (£14.99 with recent Win 7 purchase).
Took nearly 6 hours to download.'
Once complete was given 2 choices, install now or later from Desktop. (Tried both by cancelling 'now' install as it gave me no choice as to where I wanted to install) and then from Desktop. Stil no choice of where to install.
So I let it get on with it. I had also selected 'keep nothing' as there was nothing on the drive of value, especially the XP install I'd upgraded.
I now have a working installation of Windows 8 on the drive I'd planned to use for Data instead of the SSD I'd installed for my OS. Great. Fortunately I have the full version on DVD to install on this machine, otherwise I'd be looking at another 6 hours of download and no choice but to install XP on the SSD. Not impressed...
And it didn't 'clean up', everything that was on the drive is still there...
Worse, it's only 32bit...
Not much of a bargain after all!!
