Windows 7: Clean install of Windows

Clean install of Windows

Hey everyone, I'd like to preform a clean install of 7 Home Premium. The computer in question already has 7 on it, installed using an upgrade disk, but now I'd like a fresh start. I read in a stickied post above that upgrade discs are able to preform clean installs, but will I need to deactivate Windows before using the same key to install? Thanks in advance

no, if you run into problems with activation just use this Activate Windows 7 by Phone

When you do the clean install, do not give the number when asked. Untick the box for automatic activation. When done, install programs, use it for a while, if happy, activate, then.

After activation, first thing make a system image on an external and update it once a month. If you ever have a problem, you will have an easy back up. No more phone calls, no more installs.

You have 30 days to activate after installation.
