Good point, makes it less intimidating to start. Still abit reluctant to use a downloaded OS instead of
an original CD, but we will see.
Also got a bit curious on the company and sent an mail to NDC with all references i could find to see
if they can provide me with the necessarily details, if I understand it correctly they should have this on record?
I was a bit weary after having a close call with another company when ordering my desktop, seems most the customers
ordering from that company never receives any PC at all and even if I got my PC it was a poor build.
Came over this thread while waiting for mine and it made me nervous:

After a long an tedious process of writing elaborate mails they finally sent me my PC.
Good specs but it was very unstable, so I have had to sit down and learn a little more then planned about PC's
to get it working properly after deciding to do it myself rather than to depend on others. As a result my PC is
wicked now and I am able to make most people fall asleep at any dinner party talking about RAM timings and
Voltages and I feel genuinely happy with a low voltage CPU over clock.

the version and edition"
If this is correct, why does the OS have a product ID after install? Just for fun I ran the magic jelly bean
software and it produced a product ID and product key even if I had not put anything in?
Of course the product key was not working, didn't expect that anyway. It said it was a general key. Just
wanted to see if there was anything matching in the ID.
I will try to install tomorrow, it is shifting between snow and rain. So secretly only happy to have an excuse
to work on my PC instead of going outside anyway.
If this doesn't work either at least I will have a more detailed error msg to show.
Thanks for the help so far and have a nice weekend!
