| Administrator | Re: Clean Install From Upgrade Vista Hello Mitchell, You will still be able to install Vista without any problems, but with only 64MB of graphics memory you will not have the Windows Aero features and color scheme enabled. Instead, you will be using the Windows Basic color scheme. Hope this helps, Shawn |

| Dork | Re: Clean Install From Upgrade Vista Hi Brink, Is there a tutorial like this in the 7 forums yet? (I couldn't find it...of course i know the upgrade disk isn't out yet.) I presume it will work the same? Just don't enter the key or activate through the installation... |

| Master | Re: Clean Install From Upgrade Vista Hi dustin, At this point, we believe it will be exactly the same for the 7 Upgrade discs. There are other ways to clean install with the Upgrade disc - you just need a dvd /cd with a copy of 2000 or XP or Vista. When the 7 installer asks for a qualifying version of Windows - just pop the cd/dvd in the drive - it will accept that. |

| Administrator | Re: Clean Install From Upgrade Vista Hi Dustin, Yes, I agree with SIW that it will most likely be the same method as with Vista since everything else seems to be so far. I can't create a tutorial for it quite yet though until I can get my hands on a upgrade version of Windows 7 to confirm it. |
