Re: Cannot convert to full version from trial. Install source not

I would contact the manufacturer from whom you purchased the computer and request a full recovery disk with all of the preinstalled operating system and programs. They are obligated under their OEM contract with Microsoft to provide this to their customers. Elevate it if you get no satisfaction.
