We will not help you with pirated software. If you are switching from pirated software to good software it is a simple matter of calling Microsoft and asking how to change the product key to the one you purchased, but it may be simpler to reformat and try again.

Using pirated software is too risky. There's a very good chance it comes 'pre-infested' with the worst kind of malware - rootkits.

Your best bet is to use the Factory Restore option.

You know, you can get it from MSDN legally and use your key.

Don't pirate it.

Come back after you get a legit copy and we will sort out the installation issue.
