    retail or upgrade version?


    k so I'm confused with upgrading to windows 7. i am currently running the windows 7 RC and for upgrading to the full version I'm unsure if i need to buy the retail version of windows 7 or if i can use the upgrade disk for windows 7.

    The upgrade version IS a retail version. There is also a full retail version.

    All you need is the retail upgrade

    ok so if my family ended up buying one of those home premium family pack upgrades I'd be able to use that?
