    Well, it's that time of 4 years again - I want to do a clean install on my T61, but here's the deal:

    The laptop came pre-loaded with Vista. I did a clean install of that using a guide here back in 2008 when I got it. Then I did some Win7 release candidates, etc. And found out that through my university, I could get Win7 Professional for about $65, so I upgraded.

    Well, I would like to do a clean install of that, but don't know if I can. Also have Office suite on there (the full-blown version, also courtesy of huge university discount), and would like to preserve that as well.

    Is there a guide for folks like me? Or is it the same?

    Thanks!

    Yeah, I am reading the Hearst guide for my x120e. I forgot that I also have all of Adobe CS3 on there too. Gonna do that next week then! Thanks.
