[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1648124, member: 46727"] That's because a Windows 7 upgrade disk can not upgrade from XP, only from Vista. You were allowed to continue the install because you are now in "trial" mode and as Vansmith pointed out you will be asked for the key again in 30 days. In order to avoid invalidating your Windows 7 install, just go ahead and install Windows 7 again over itself and then insert your key. It should then activate if the copy is legal. [/QUOTE]
