I bought parallels and downloaded and installed Windows 8.1 preview via the parallels installer. I'd like to buy Windows now. When I go to Control Panel > System & Security > System in Windows it says Windows is Activated but I installed the preview. How can I activate Windows? Does this preview last forever or will it expire? Thank you
Thanks Brockly The windows store "card" in metro never connected, but putting ms-windows-store:WindowsUpgrade in the address bar did succeed in opening the store. I appreciate the help.
