I just clean installed a copy of Windows 8 Professional I got from Dreamspark academic. And when I got to the start menu it says that I shouldn't unplug the usb on my windows to go session.

Weird thing is this isn't a Windows-To-Go session. I am running the 32-bit Win 8 professional on a Dell Latitude.

How can I fix this? I also can't use the Windows App store.

In case you thought I had installed Windows 8 Enterprise

Switch to start screen and type regedit.

Mark the regedit tile (right click or drag it a bit down with a finger) and use the app bar button Run as administrator – confirm UAC prompt.

Within registry editor navigate in the left pane to key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control

Search in right pane the DWORD value PortableOperatingSystem and change the value from 1 to 0.

Reboot and look if this fixes it.
