Upgrade edition costs +/- the same as OEM - $119.99 (Amazon)...

I attempted to upgrade from XP 32 to 7 64 and have been unable to activate since I wiped the hard drive. I attempted to run the fix suggested in the article but get the error "On a computer running MS non-core edition, run slui.exe 0x2a0xc002001B to display the error test."

Thanks to the author of the article and for the suggestion. I wish it would've worked as I spent four hours on the phone with MS yesterday repeating the story to each person I spoke with; totally 8 different pass-offs.

Saw this in the reader's comments, from the Download Squad article. I also plan to upgrade from XP to 7, so I hope this is just an isolated incidence.
