Even on Win 7 that can give problems... appearing to be, but often, unless
you explicitly set it, not the case.

Dunno if this will help in your situation Brian, but worth a look at the
below noted page. (In case broken, the URL runs over two lines).

I'm only on Win 7 Pro but a year or so ago I had some Win Ownership
problems and found a registry hack that sorted it.
It's nothing particularly exotic, just some Registry key scripts to
facilitate the ownership process, or if required, a second to remove them.

Just looking at the place I sourced it, I see it works with Win 8

I have a VRPC-Adjust SA install on an external USB hardrive...
