| Re: Can I use the Windows 7 Upgrade DVD for a Clean Install ? Dear Dominic, Thanks for your link. Appreciate your help. Do you suggest performing a clean install or upgrade from existing Vista OS ? Needless to say, upgrade is much easier for me as I don't need to install all software, broadband connection .... etc BUT I fear that the upgrade will mess up the machine in the future.

| Re: Can I use the Windows 7 Upgrade DVD for a Clean Install ? You can perform an upgrade to avoid reinstalling your applications but I would always recommend a clean install of a new operating system. If you upgrade, you carry forward any registry errors and buggy installations. On 06/11/2009 10:33, Patrick wrote:[color=blue] > Dear Dominic, > > Thanks for your link.

I have a fairly new computer running Vista Ultimate and I did the upgrade instead of a clean install. The only problem I ran into was that my anti virus wasn't compatible (Trend Micro Pro 2009). I was happy with it anyway so I dumped it for something else. So far everything is going fine. gls858 |

If you > upgrade, you carry forward any registry errors and buggy installations.[/color] My opinion is exactly the opposite: Unlike with previous versions of Windows, upgrades starting with Windows XP replace almost everything, and usually work very well. My recommendation is to at least try the upgrade, since it's much easier than a clean installation. You can always change your mind and reinstall cleanly if problems develop. However, don't assume that doing an upgrade relieves you of the need to backup your data, etc. before beginning. Before starting to upgrade, it's always prudent to recognize that things like a sudden power loss can occur in the middle of it and cause the loss of everything. For that reason you should make sure you have backups and anything else you need to reinstall if the worst happens.

| Re: Can I use the Windows 7 Upgrade DVD for a Clean Install ? You can't. You would need to purchase a Full Version Windows 7 license if you have no qualifying Windows operating system installed.

| Re: Can I use the Windows 7 Upgrade DVD for a Clean Install ? I'd be very happy to see the official words about it. In the mean time, refer to the following and please use your common sense. Clean install with Windows 7 upgrade media? Get the facts! [url]http://blogs.zdnet.com/Bott/?p=1505[/url] Quotes: Meanwhile, an argument that should have died ages ago has reared its head again. If you purchase a discounted upgrade edition of Windows 7, can you use it to perform a clean installation of the operating system on a PC that doesn't currently have Windows installed? The answer is really simple. If you qualify for an upgrade license, then yes, you can use any number of workarounds to install the operating system legally. If you don't qualify for an upgrade license, then those same workarounds might technically succeed, but your license is not valid. Will you get away with it? Probably. But if you're running a business, you run the risk that an employee will turn you in to the Business Software Alliance, which could lead to an audit, civil charges, and eventually some stiff penalties. [...] Finally, there's the question of what older Windows versions qualify for an upgrade to Windows 7. The answer is on the retail upgrade box: "All editions of Windows XP and Windows Vista qualify you to upgrade. . If you are upgrading from Windows XP, you will need to back up your files and settings, perform a clean install and then re-install your existing files, settings, and programs." "Note that it specifically says "clean install," not "custom install." [url]http://windows.microsoft.com/upgrade?os=win7[/url] Upgrading from Windows XP Upgrade your current PC If your current PC can run Windows 7, you can upgrade it. Note that you can use upgrade media, but you must perform a custom installation of Windows 7, which doesn't keep any of your files, programs, or settings. Upgrading from Windows Vista Upgrade your current PC This table describes which editions of Windows Vista can be upgraded to Windows 7. If you can't upgrade to the edition of Windows 7 that you want, you can use upgrade media and perform a custom installation. A custom installation doesn't preserve your files, programs, or settings.

| Re: Can I use the Windows 7 Upgrade DVD for a Clean Install ? Xfile, You can perform a clean install from a Windows 7 upgrade version however you will have to have a valid previous copy of Microsoft Windows XP or Microsoft Windows Vista installed to validate the upgrade and activate the product key. Please note that when migrating from Windows XP to Windows 7 you will not have an "in place upgrade" option. You will however have the option to select "custom" install when prompted. The Windows 7 install process will then copy all of your data in "My Documents" over to a Windows.old folder within Windows 7 itself. All applications and documents stored in other locations will have to be reinstalled / transferred manually.

[color=blue] > You can perform a clean install from a Windows 7 upgrade version > however you will have to have a valid previous copy of Microsoft Windows > XP or Microsoft Windows Vista installed to validate the upgrade and > activate the product key.[/color] Nothing in those pages says anything about "a valid previous copy of Microsoft Windows XP or Microsoft Windows Vista installed to validate the upgrade and activate the product key". In fact, the following is under "Installing a custom version of Windows" ([url]http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/Windows7/Installing-and-reinstalling-Windows[/url]) "Installing a custom version of Windows. Choose Custom to completely replace your current operating system, or to install Windows on a specific drive or partition that you select. You can also use Custom if your computer doesn't have an operating system, or if you want to set up a multiboot system on your computer. For more information about setting up a multiboot system, see Install more than one operating system (multiboot)." Note that it says - You can also use Custom if your computer doesn't have an operating system[...] And there is a subsection "Install more than one operating system (multiboot)" ([url]http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Install-more-than-one-operating-system-multiboot[/url]) for a clean install on a separate partition and it says: If your computer's hard disk has adequate free disk space, you can install a newer version of Windows on a separate partition and keep the earlier version of Windows on your computer.
