Upgrade questions
My PC is running Win 7 Home Premium (64 bit).
I've been battling some redirect viruses, and malware.
In the process of removing these other problems have popped up --
1. Programs in start menu empty, cannot open them.
2 Downloading programs for my school work are incomplete and will not open.
I think my only option is to reinstall , but I would like to upgrade to Pro.
If I understand correctly, if I do the online upgrade, the os will be new(fully funtional), but the viruses might still be there.
I plan on purchasing the backup disc to do a clean install if necessary.
Also, I plan on building a new PC later this year, can I use the backup disc and purchase a new key?
