    Hey, i just got my win 7 upgrade today in the mail. Can you do a clean install with this or can you only upgrade from vista. If you can, can someone show me how to with it?

    You CAN do a clean install with the upgrade discs. However, I haven't received mine yet so I dont know the exact proceedure. I assume you should reboot and enter windows setup and choose an option for clean install.

    If its the regular upgrade media it will give you the option when you start to install it to do an upgrade or a fresh install. Its that simple.
