I want to run Windows 8 Pro on my current 'main' laptop (Dell SXPS 1340 - 3 years old) which is currently running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.
I have purchased a £25 upgrade from Microsoft and have also obtained the key for Windows Media Centre for free from Microsoft.

I recently purchased the Windows 8 pro upgrade since my consumer preview expired. After paying, I was emailed the product key and download instructions which I followed to a T. It took forever then all of a sudden, it said that computer encountered an

"Windows installation encountered an unexpected error. Verify that the installation sources are accessible, and restart the installation."
Also get this "Setup is unable to launch Install.exe. A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed." [Error=0x8007045a].

How do you get the best deal on a Windows 8 Pro upgrade?
location:

You can get a smoking deal on an upgrade to Windows 8 Pro if you're ready to make that purchase before January 31, 2013. But there are some gotchas, and one inexplicable and unfair pricing decision means that early buyers of Windows 8 PCs pay more than Windows 7 users.
Microsoft has simplified the upgrade process for Windows 8 dramatically, at least for early adopters, starting with its decision to sell only two retail editions.
