re: Upgrade or Full Monday, July 6, 2009 at 9:18 pm Windows 7 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Dan Sarandrea, MCSE (7132 messages posted) Windows Vista and Windows 7 installations of Upgrade licenses require that you start the installation from a running instance of the Operating System that you will be upgrading from. During the upgrade installation, you have the option to choose a custom uograde installation which does a clean installation allowing you to add, change or repartition as desired. Of course data is lost during this type of upgrade os be sure to back up before choosing Custom installation. This is unlike Windows XP, which allows you to use an Upgrade CD to install an Upgrade license to a bare hard disk drive.
