I vote for a screenshot of this just because its jokes.
 
Is the oobe telling you that you have that long? How are you getting a ton of days left? I've heard of this happening on volume license media, but not retail.
 
Fortinatly, I called Micro$oft and they helped me fix my problem, but it was strange, now I think I'll think twice before upgrading.
