Clean Install with a Upgrade Windows 7 Version

How to Do a Clean Install with an Upgrade Windows 7 Version


   Information
This will show you how to do a Clean Install using a retail Upgrade Windows 7 installation disc.

   Warning
Remember that you need to legally own a valid qualifying previous version of Windows to use a Upgrade Windows 7, and to stop using (or uninstall) the qualifying OS while you have the upgrade installed. Microsoft only made doing a clean install from a upgrade Windows 7 possible to make it more convenient so you do not have to reinstall both the old Windows version (ex: Vista) and upgrade to Windows 7 everytime you needed or wanted to reinstall.

If you do not legally own a valid qualifying previous version of Windows, then you are violating the terms of Microsoft's Windows 7 End User License Agreement and could get your product key number invalidated by Microsoft. Plus, it is considered illegal.

For more about this, please see: Microsoft SMB Community Blog : Regardless of what any hack says, a Windows 7 Upgrade is an Upgrade. What you need to know.






OPTION ONE

A Normal Clean Install


1. Do a clean install at boot without checking the Automatically activate Windows when I'm online box during the installation process.

2. When the installation is finished, then manually activate Windows 7 with your product key number.

3. If your Windows should fail to activate, then pick up at step 2 in OPTION THREE below.






OPTION TWO

Through a Custom Install


   Note
This option will let you do a clean install of Windows 7 without formating the current Windows installation to have your current Windows installation backed up to the Windows.old folder during the installation of your retail upgrade Windows 7. This way you can copy any files back that you want from the C:\Windows.old folder (previous installation) back into your new installation afterwards.

1. Do a custom install at boot or from within your current Windows installation without checking the Automatically activate Windows when I'm online box during the installation process.

2. When the installation is finished, then manually activate Windows 7 with your product key number.

3. Copy any files that you want back from the C:\Windows.old folder into where you want it in you new installation.

4. You can now delete the Windows.old folder using Disk Cleanup to have a clean install now.






OPTION THREE

Clean Install with a Registry Workaround for Error Code 0xc004f061


   Note
If you get a activation error code 0xc004f061 while doing OPTION ONE or OPTION TWO above, then you will need to use this option instead

win7_upgrade_media_06.jpg


1. Do a clean install of your upgrade Windows 7 at boot without checking the Automatically activate Windows when I'm online box during the installation process.
NOTE: If you already did this from OPTION ONE above and got a activation error, then skip this step and just proceed to step 2 below instead. There's no need to reinstall again.

2. Click on the Download button below to download the .bat file below, and save it to your desktop.
Activate_Windows_Upgrade_after_Clean_Install.bat


Download


3. Right click on the downloaded .bat file, and click on Run as administrator.

4. If prompted, click/tap on Run and Yes (UAC).
NOTE: If you like, you can stop getting the Run prompt by unblocking the downloaded .bat file.

5. You will now notice a command prompt quickly open and close while applying the changes to your registry.

6. Click/tap on OK. (see screenshot below)
OK.jpg
7. Restart the computer.

8. When the computer is finished restarting, then manually activate Windows 7 with your product key number.



OPTION FOUR

Double Installing Windows 7


   Note
This option is the same that was used to do a clean install of an upgrade copy of Windows 7. It's more work, but if the options above did not work for you, then this should since this is the most reliable option.

1. Do a clean install of your upgrade Windows 7 at boot without checking the Automatically activate Windows when I'm online box during the installation process, and do not activate Windows 7. When finished with the clean install, do not or install any Windows Updates, drivers, or programs yet.

2. When finished with the clean install, start at step 4 at this link to do an in-place "upgrade" install with your upgrade Windows 7 installation disk from within the just now finished clean install of Windows 7.

3. When the in-place upgrade installation is completely finished, then manually activate Windows 7 with your product key number. You can now also install any Windows Updates drivers, and programs you like.
That's it,
Shawn

Hi swamped. I used an Upgrade w7 Student edition with Option one, Clean Install and had to use Option 3 for the registry work around to active. It installed as a retail version does for me.

swamped,

I'm happy to hear that your SSD is arriving today.

If you don't do the steps exactly in OPTION FOUR, it may not activate Windows. The upgrade afterwards allows it to be activated properly. :)

If you get the error in OPTION THREE, then you could also use it to legally activate.


Another question; at #9 I click on Custom, right?

swamped,

When you do step 9 at the other link while doing an in-place upgrade for step 2 in OPTION FOUR on the first page, you would want to select Upgrade instead. :)

What confused me was mention of keeping files, settings and programs on the Upgrade option. But I guess the new ssd will already be clean. Even if it wasn't a new ssd, an old one would be wiped clean from the "clean install" at #1, OPTION FOUR, right?

That would be correct. You get the "keeping files, settings and programs" message because when you do the upgrade it makes a copy of the clean install from step to the "C:\Windows.old" folder. Towards the end of the in-place upgrade tutorial, it shows you how to delete the Windows.old folder to regain the space it uses. :)

Brink, thank you for all your help. I did the clean install w/upgrade yesterday, and it went really well. Was surprised, actually, when it activated becasue I had forgotten to de activate Windows on the old drive.
The only problem I had was that Device manager showed these drivers were missing: Marvel 91xx Config ATA Device, and Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller. Tried to correct with my Mobo disc, but ended up on Gigabyte's site. And for anyone else that runs into this problem, here's where I went -

GIGABYTE - Motherboard - Socket 1366 - GA-X58A-UD3R (rev. 2.0)

First, I unhooked my other hard drives, leaving only the new SSD, and then downloaded the Marvell Console Driver(SATA3), and Nec USB 3.0 Driver, and all was well.

Now to streamline everything.

tl;dr: Brink, you rock

Thank you so much for this, Brink. I can't tell you what a life saver you are. I have a Win 7 partition on my Macbook Pro that need to use for work along with the OSX side. Friday AM the OSX partition stopped booting (ironic that the Win 7 side was fine...), so on Saturday I picked up a new drive, made a pot of coffee, and got ready to do some installing. What a headache to find out that my trusty old xp no longer activates! I did the clean install of the upgrade and when it wouldn't activate I called the service office, who told me very politely (in Japanese, I'm in Osaka), that if I don't have a working copy of xp I'm up the proverbial creek. "But I DO have a copy!" I said, and then "I'll even pay for a Win 7 Full install! Please, I don't have time to learn Win 8 for Monday!" All to no avail. Well, the registry cleaner did the trick.

Hi, after having read your tutorial and your links to the other threads, I still have a question about the qualified previous version of windows. Everything refers to having XP or Vista but I can't find an answer to my particular setup.

I have an Asus laptop that came factory installed with Win7 Home Premium 64 bit. I later bought an upgrade copy to Win7 Ulimate and used it on said laptop. The old HDD is failing and I now want to install a SSD in the laptop and do a fresh install of Win7 Ultimate 64 bit. The laptop still has the Certificate of Authenticity for Home Prem sticker, that has the product key, on the bottom but no restore disks. I still have the ultimate upgrade disks with the product key.

So, my question is, is this a legal setup to use the steps in your tutorial? I just want to make sure its legal for me to do.

Thanks for any help you can give and for creating the thread in the first place.

Hello foxmetal, and welcome to Seven Forums.

Yes, you will be able to legally do a clean install with your Windows 7 Ultimate since you do own a qualifying Windows 7 Home Premium that you originally upgraded from. :)
