Remove OEM XP install and upgrade to Win 7 ?
I have another computer with XP Media Center installed by HP. I want to wipe this drive and install Win 7 Pro from the upgrade disk.
The existing C: drive has both the XP installation and a hidden "recovery/restore partition. Here's my plan:
1) Via Acronis or DiskWizard...I will delete both partitions on the existing C: drive.
2) Reinstall a sperate licensed copy of Window XP Home Edition or W2000 Pro.
3) install W7 Pro from my new W7 Pro upgrade DVD onto the C: drive
4) reinstall all necessary programs and run my back up of WET from external drive
Any problems here ?
Thanks, Tim
