Clean install question
Hey guys, I have another install question.
My computer is store-bought, so it had a lot of bloatware (which I promptly removed), but it's still very slow on boot and when more than 3 programs are running. What I was contemplating is getting the upgrade version of Windows 7, since I have a valid OEM Vista license, and formatting my drive to do a clean install. Is that legal and/or safe?
I would back up all my data, obviously, but I just want to know if the Win7 DVD will boot if there is no OS at all on my system.
