I need help to do a Win7 clean install after doing upgrade from Vista.
I have an HP TouchSmart tx2-1275dx with Vista OS at time of purchase. I upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate 64 using the upgrade medium when it was first released. I did not do a clean install. (Probably my first mistake.) I immediately had problems with various touch screen related software as well as other software for which the drivers had not been created yet. I resorted to returning my system to the original Vista OS. After several months and changes in my priorities, I upgraded once again to Windows 7 Ultimate 64. I of course have had problems with HP WiFi printer drivers, (repeated 0x000003eb errors) and none of the Multitouch software would install properly. Long story, short, I would now like to do a clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate 64. Do I need to revert to Vista first? Does anyone have any help for me? I have been a lifelong PC user and only just bought an iPad. I find it sad that after hours of trying to get my TouchSmart to print to an Hp printer, the iPad did it with just one button.
