| Guest | Clean Install Does the full version of Premium and ulimate allow you to do a clean install? Aslo can the upgrade versions of ulimate and premium vista allow you to do a clean install instead of me getting the full version I can get the upgrade one instead. Also does the premium one have restore on the OS I know ulimate does but what about premium edition. Also can some one tell me if the poker game from ulimate extras is worth getting ulimate or just going to premium. |

| Guest | Re: Clean Install Deja Vu all over again LOL...Any version of Vista can do a clean install. The main difference between Premium and Ultimate is networking. Ultimate can join a Windows Domain, Premium cannot. Premium doesn't have the backup I presume you are speaking of. Can't answer about Poker.

| Guest | Re: Clean Install All editions of Vista by default do a clean install, although the option of upgrading is available, it only retains your personal files, applications and settings. You can do a clean install with upgrade media: How do I do a clean install with the Windows Vista Upgrade media? 1. Boot with the Windows Vista Upgrade DVD. 2. Click "Install Now". 3. Do not enter a Product Key when prompted. 4. When prompted, select the Vista product edition that you do have. 5. Install Vista normally. 6. Once the install is complete, restart the DVD-based Setup from within Windows Vista. Perform an in-place upgrade. 7. Enter your Product Key when prompted. Yes, system restore is included in Home Premium and Basic. As for the Poker Game, I got it through the Ultimate Extras Service and played it only one time (not well either). Beyond the game, Vista Ultimate includes functionality from both the Home Premium and Business edition. ://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/versions/default.mspx -- Andre Blog: http://adacosta.spaces.live.com My Vista Quickstart Guide: http://adacosta.spaces.live.com/blog...3DB!9709.entry "Drew" <s@aol.com> wrote in message news:90CC0C57-BD73-488D-B570-88B7B4494918@microsoft.com... > Does the full version of Premium and ulimate allow you to do a clean > install?

| Guest | Re: Clean Install so if I want to do a clean install and a whole total wipe of my hard drive yes a format. My options are if i get a upgrade version to do the steps in the previous reply to this group. I am guessing you can not do a total hard drive format and clean install on the regular full versions of ulimate and premium edition. Just trying to make sense before I buy whatever edition I buy tomorrow.But taking it if I read the emaisl I cna doa total reformat anda clean install if I get the ulimate upgrade version or home premium version over the xp edition I have after I downgrade back from the vista beta that I still have. Sorry if this is confusing all I know is microsoft made it harder for people to reformat there drives and clean off there hard drives.

| Guest | Re: Clean Install Sorry, but your suggested workaround for a clean install using upgrade media no longer works.

| Guest | Re: Clean Install And... neither version of Home can act as a Remote Desktop host, i.e., you can RD into Business or Ultimate (or Enterprise) from Home, but you cannot RD into a PC running Home Basic or Premium. Of course there are free alternatives, like VNC.
