[WIN7] The Windows 7 upgrade process in Microsoft Help http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r22644633 en Sun, 06 Dec 2009 10:12:02 EDT Sun, 06 Dec 2009 10:12:02 EDT Re: [WIN7] The Windows 7 upgrade process http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22647902 IllIlIlllIll : for me, i have too many custom tweaks, applications, settings, various external DLL, OCX files that are manually registered, saved form data/cookies and among other things that would take a large amount of prohibitive time to set up again doing a clean install.

Got my information from there:
quote:
In order to install Windows 7 Upgrade, you must have a qualifying Windows operating system currently installed.
While at the Windows Desktop, insert the Windows 7 Upgrade disc in the DVD drive. After a few moments the
setup menu will appear and you can select Upgrade or Custom Installation. The Custom Installation option will
start a "clean install" of Windows 7 Upgrade.


I know I had this question and I can imagine others did too.

You can buy Windows Home Premium, Professional and Ultimate editions at a discount until July 11th. Here's the link to purchase: »store.microsoft.com/microsoft/Wi···gory/102
