In that case you can't dual boot those legally, and it would complain at some point. If you have 2 seperate versions then we need to know exactly what the error message is stating, not just an approximation. Also if you haven't ever connected it to the internet then how did you activate it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
