Bah, looks like it's an upgrade licence only, which isn't what I was after (I'd rather go with a clean install). Although I wasn't aware an upgrade licence would work with XP, which is what the terms and conditions suggest. Ah well, cheers chaps.


I managed a clean install with my copy, it didn't ask about a previous installation of Windows once. No guarantee that'd it be the same with your of course.


so did i, easy as piss :D

i read somewhere (Paul Thurrotts blog i think) that so long as you have a copy of vista/perhaps XP on another partition, the installing clean from an upgrade will never fail, worked for me :)

I got the student upgrade version of Win7 Pro (for XP mode). It "upgraded" from the free release candidate, didn't need to go through any hoops with converting the download or anything, it worked fine by just running the .exe :) I did do a full wipe rather than actually upgrading though.
