clean install using upgrade version

I’ve heard success stories of others doing it. Is it legal or possible to
perform a clean install using the upgrade version of Windows Vista? If so,
how do you do it?

Thanks for in advance.

Re: clean install using upgrade version

Yes.

Use the upgrade DVD to first install a 30-day trial version of Vista --that's done simply by not entering the product key when
prompted to do so during the installation. Once you've got the trial version of Vista up and running, you simply start the
installation process all over again from within Vista, this time entering the product key when prompted
