installation on top of the upgrade

Here I go again,
I have TOSHIBA SATELLITE with 1 gig ram-GHz-160 hard drive on windows media
center,windows vista capable.TOSHIBA gave me a windows vista home premium
..I installed it with no problem but noticed that I have a lot of trial
programs and games that I don't want. Can I do a clean installation on top
of the upgrade again and re register ??

RE: installation on top of the upgrade

If you just want to remove the programs you do not want, Select "Programs &
Features" in the Control Panel to remove those trial programs & games you do
not require. Some inbuilt programs which are part of Vista you will not be
able to remove.
What are some of the programs & games you wish to remove?
Re-installation is not required!!!!!

Hi Bob I, Thanks for your advice, but even if you remove programs, there are
a lot of junk remaining in the register that never will a be able to remove
if I don't do clean install.

Although that's true, you don't need to remove that "junk." It doesn't hurt
you in any way.
