Is it possible to do a clean install with Pro Pack and does anyone have personal experience doing it?

The Pro Pack is an Upgrade product. If you received a Lap Top as I did with Windows 8 Standard You can upgrade it to Pro with the Pro Pack. In terms of a fresh install if you had a licensed version of Windows 8 on your computer you have the right to ask the manufacture for the Windows 8 Install CD to reinstall Windows 8, (say over a version that has become corrupted ). After your fresh Win 8 Standard Install, (The manufacture of said computer usually has an agreement with Microsoft as the case with DELL where you don't even input codes.. though it will register as soon as internet is connected) then you can install ProPack 8 for a virtually clean install.

When in doubt get a professional. It took me about 3 hours to install and then an hour to get it all cleaned up and tucked away.

Actually you need to upgrade Windows 8 to 8.1 before you can install the pro version (the upgrade to 8.1 from 8 is free). The pro pack box just has an authorization code in it to download and activate the pro features. You actually have to initiate the pro upgrade from the Windows 8.1 control panel and then enter the code so with a previous version of Windows (or none at all) there is no way to initiate the install.

Can you elaborate? If you have Windows XP or newer it should just install automatically.

Yes, I'm sure you can. As I understand it, Microsoft maintains a record of your Windows software associated with your computer, not your hard drive. Your clean install at a later time will require deleting the original install if both drives are present at the time. In a worse case scenario, you might have to call Microsoft customer support if you have a glitch; just explain to them what you are trying to do and they will get you through it.

I had no problem at all installing the drive . My problem came in when I installed my copy of Windows 7 and the old drive contained the Old Windows XP ops system. So I started getting statements that my Ops System might be counterfeit. So I spent $67.00 and ordered a full Win 7 Professional and everything is great now. Sorry I could not be of more help.Travis

I reformat the disc! The tools menu has this as an option, and it works great. I do it after every download.

The instruction manual says yes! Just pick the software at time of installation.

Can't help unfortunately. Had a professional install out of state. But never had a complaint or problem since 2013.

I had no problems with this issue. It would be a good idea to back up your files prior to installing.

Mine didn't come with an Installation CD. My OS is Windows XP Pro. It was just Plug and Play...literally. I'm very pleased with it though. I'd suggest this to anyone.

Hello Brian, the answer is, there is no installation instruction,however, there is a user manual that comes with it, for "after" installation use. I upgraded from XP Pro and used the XP operation system disk to format the drive and then installed the win 7 professional disk. Hope i made sense to you...

Yes--but you will need to use Disk Utility to reformat it. Takes just a couple of minutes.

Good day Jemaul ! To be honest with you. It'd better if you take your time and find a cheap deal on the hardware, then get a "Student Edition" of the full software for cheap. Thatt's how I did it when I went into Pro Tools 10.
