    I currently have Windows Vista on my computer. People recommend doing a clean install for Windows 7 rather than running just the upgrade. Does that mean that I have to purchase the full Windows 7 software ($180) instead of the Upgrade version of the software ($120). Thanks.

    Get the upgrade version.
    You can do a clean install with it:
