UPDATE!!
Ok. I reinstalled using the 800x600 resolution and I also changed the default browser from Chrome to Edge. That got me from the blank white activation screen to one with words and a text box. I still could not actually enter the code as the text box didn't respond to a left or right, single or double mouse click. Or anything else I tried.
BUT.... I googled THAT issue separately and came across a solution that actually worked, tho it is the dumbest thing.
Hover the test cursor over the test box and left click, nothing will happen, HOWEVER, carefully type the licence code blindly INCLUDING THE DASHES. It will look like nothing happened. Click the activate now button (it won't seem like anything happened) Voila. It activated for me at this point. This took me to the Register your product prompt.
There are not enough curse words for this process.
Zero stars.....would not recommend.
