Hello. You'll need to install Vista first before upgrading to Windows 8. The upgrade disc works best when paired with a fresh installation of Vista, ensuring compatibility. After reformatting, you can proceed with the Windows 8 license, but it's recommended to follow the proper steps for a smooth transition.

When prompted to activate, contact MS using the phone method and describe your issue. It seems the 8.1 upgrade licenses work well after upgrading from 7 or Vista, regardless of installation status. Keep your Vista product key handy.
