Hello RDR, welcome to Seven Forums!
Here's a lot of useful information, have a thorough look before you decide how to proceed and be sure to post back with any further questions you may have and to keep us informed.
There is nothing that should be keeping you from doing a clean install of Windows 7 to that PC, be sure to set the BIOS back to the default if you have made any changes there.
After you have copied out or made back-ups of the data you need to save to external media, then boot the Windows 7 installation media to use Step One of this tutorial at the first link below to do a wipe (secure erase) to the entire Hard Disk Drive / Solid State Drive.
- Then if you do not want to create the new Windows 7 "System Reserved" partition use the outline in Step Two #2 to create, format and mark Active a single 100GB partition to do the installation to.
- If you do want to create the "System Reserved" partition use the outline in Step Two #3 to create, format and mark Active the System Reserved partition and then create and format the 100GB partition to do the installation to.

Win 7 home premium
When I do a clean install I realize that I'll lose all data. Its easy to B/U on an external HD. What about the one time install on licensed software I've purchased like MS Office (word, excel, powerpoint, etc) that is on my HD. Am I just out of luck on this or if I B/U program files can I reinstall the licensed software without re-registering as a re-register with the same product key probably won't go through and activate the software. Suggestions or advice? Are there other folders I need to make sure and B/U to get the MS office programs back? I'm also running licensed copies of Norton Utilities and Antivirus. Can I "get them back" after a clean install of Win 7 without having to reinstall from the CDs?
Thanks

To my knowledge (there may be examples like GAOTD) S/W like an Office 'one-time' means to one PC only and not multiple PCs not just a single installation.

Run Belarc Advisor which will give you a complete hardware and software audit including all installed Product keys.
You must boot the 64 bit DVD to clean install over 32 bit, as long as the processor handles 64 bit Windows.
