So I just got my new laptop, the Asus N56VM-S4050V with Windows 7 Home Premium installed on it. But there's a lot of bloatware on the laptop so I want to do the clean installation, and install Windows 7 ultimate.
I'm stuck at step 7, like pinklotus. I click on the Custom (advanced) option, then I see two partitions, the HDD on which the home premium edition is installed on, and a system reserved partition. Want I need to do next, is delete both partitions, and not format them right? After that I click on the HDD which by then is unallocated space, to install ultimate on it?
What is the difference actually? I hope you can help me.
Kind regards,
Duco Hello Duco, and welcome to Seven Forums.
Yes, you have it correct.
Before starting, you might consider creating a set of Asus factory recovery discs for the Windows 7 Home Premium that came included with your laptop. This way you will be able to reinstall it back to factory conditions in the future if you should ever want to since wiping the HDD will also wipe the factory recovery partition(s).
If you format the HDD first, then the "System Reserved" partition will not be added.
If you do not format and select a "Unallocated space", then the "System Reserved" partition will be added. This is just the preferred method.
Hope this helps,
Shawn

Shawn Alright!
Now I know everything I need to know. First I'll create the recovery disks and then I'm gonna go ahead and go down the preferred method, deleting the partitions.
Thanks for the help man!

I did a clean install of Windows 7 with new purchased Windows 7 installation disc. But I didn't see Step 17.
For example: After setting date & time, it goes finalizing your settings instead of applying network location. After installation, I didn't get any network adapter.
