Upgrade Win7 Retail When Available
Currently have Vista Home Premium installed on Drive C and Win 7 RC1 installed on Drive F and dual booting. Have not had any problems with Win7 and am considering using it full time until retail version comes out. This will free up my Drive F to use as a back-up drive.
My question is: If I do a clean install of Win7 RC on Drive C (get rid of Vista entirely) will I do one of the following to install the upgrade version of Win7 (cost concerns regarding full version vs upgrade version)?
Reinstall Vista followed by upgrade of Win 7.
Use bootable vista dvd created by Acronis and then install upgrade Win 7. I have not had to use a bootable disk to restore a system so not totally familiar with what it will do.
Whatever I need has been backed up.
Any problems that anyone can think of?
Thanks for any info and ideas
