Upgrade dvd: vista to 7 in different language using custom install
I have two simple questions, but I cannot find definitive answers.
>I have windows vista business 64bit (language: Dutch)
>I want windows 7 professional 64bit (language: English)
I am going to use upgrade media to upgrade vista to 7.
1. Can I change the language from Dutch to English if I do a custom installation? Answered: yes
2. Is it a 100% clean installation if I do a custom installation and format during this procedure? Answered: read thread

If you do a custom install, formatting the drives, the language difference between vista and 7 is not a technical obstacle. So it comes down to licensing: does Microsoft accept this?

I do not want to use any 'registry workarounds'. But since people are using them, I'm wondering if a custom installation (with formatting during this process) indeed is a fully clean installation. The different tutorials are very confusing on this matter.
