| Guest | Clean Install From Express Upgrade Disc Hi, I'm intending to do a clean install of Windows Home Premium from an Express Upgrade disk and wondered if anyone has done this before and can give me some tips. I've researched on the web and it looks as if when carrying out a clean install from an upgrade disc you have to install the upgrade then upgrade the upgrade. I therefore intend to do the following: 1. Boot to the upgrade disc, reformat C: and load the upgrade. 2. Install the chipset. 3. Put the upgrade disc in and upgrade the upgrade. 4. Load chipset, drivers, etc. Thanks. |

| Guest | Re: Clean Install From Express Upgrade Disc With respect Andre, my experience tells me that clean installing is the only way to upgrade and end up with a stable machine. I've seen several upgrades done by putting the disk in and the machine is a mess afterwards. Vista just doesn't like Windows XP drivers (i.e. printer, wireless USB adapter, etc).
