RE: 'Can I do a clean install of Windows 7 (upgrading from
Yes the process is quite simple really. All you need do is Wipe the HDD in the computer
With something like Boot & Nuke
http://www.dban.org/
or Kill Disc
http://www.killdisk.com/downloadfree.htm
Then place the the Windows 7 Upgrade Disc into the DVD Drive and boot the system. The Upgrade version of 7 will then proceed to install and if it is anything like previous Upgrade Versions of Windows it will ask you to insert the Vista DVD into the Drive to confirm that you can Legally use the Upgrade Disc. After it has confirmed that you are using the product correctly it will instruct you to replace the Windows 7 Disc into the DVD Drive and complete the Install.
However you are likely to need to install any Drivers for your Hardware after you have finished the Windows install to get all of the hardware working. The most likely ones are the Sound Drivers, the Video Driver and any Network Drivers that may be required for your Hardware.
You'll also require the Original Recovery Disc for your system.
