You will need the key during the upgrade/repair process

Have tried several times to install. After copying 100% files, fails at gathering files, settings and programmes. Error message reads: Setup can't continue. Restart the computer and restart Setup. When prompted, try getting the latest updates.

The only option I can come up with now unfortunately is back up your data and do a full install

[nobbyburton]

Is there a specific guide to use for a full install?

[Essexboy]

Seven forums again come up trumps

[nobbyburton]

once all backups have been taken, is it an idea to delete any particular files, or wiping the c drive completely? just thinking of the best outcome of ensuring this install doesnt go way of last one

or will a clean install wipe all windows and registry files anyway

not concerned with my data as that will be backed up to an external drive

[Essexboy]

For best results wipe the C drive
