| | Hello eagleye50, welcome to Seven Forums! If you have No Data on the Hard Disk Drive (HDD) that you don't want to lose, have a look at the tutorial at the link below to do a wipe "secure erase" on the HDD so you'll have a clean slate to start with, though any/all data on the HDD will be over-written so be sure.

| | You can save a lot of money by using a Windows 7 Upgrade version since you have qualifying Vista OS. Use the full version on another computer, gift or sell it. |

| | Hasn't this been covered to death, search on it. But I agree, you just need upgrade version, save that one for a built from scratch PC. |
