When you say "from scratch", I take it as a totally clean installation? If
so, there is no difference, you get the same as the full install, and it is
considerably cheaper. The only downsides to the upgrade version(s) are, you
have to have a compatible Windows OS already installed, it cannot be done
from a formatted disk, where one would use their previous OS as proof, as
you could in XP.
