Problems with clean Windows 8 install

Problems with clean Windows 8 install

I've downloaded Windows 8 from Microsoft in our Microsoft Action Pack
Subscription. Perhaps I need to ask them, but I think I'll get better help
here.
I recently bought a new computer at work and inserted a new SSD drive. I
installed Windows 8 Professional but I got "Windows 8". To get
Professional I needed to to an edition upgrade - which also was the first
time I had to enter the serial.
Everything first seemed ok. But now I've noticed some strange stuff. I
have a laptop with Windows 8 to compare differences with.
I can't change power options, when I try to I get a message saying they
can't be changed - "Enheten är inte klar" it says in Swedish - "Device not
ready" perhaps in English.
In the "PC Settings" menu "Users" and "Windows Update" is missing.
All services (service.msc) are listed with short names, "BITS" instead of
"Background Intelligent Transfer". Most of them has an error code 2 as
description.
I can't add some of the features in "Turn Windows features on and off",
like anything for .NET 3.5
I don't know if all or any of these things are related. It's just too many
problems in a two days old clean install. My collegue used the same
installation DVD also doing a clean install and got Professional edition
at install, no edition upgrade needed. He doesn't have any of the problems
I have. We are both network administrators and local administrators on our
machines.
