Upgrade Discs - Does prev version have to be activated
Hi all
PLEASE to anybody who has an UPGRADE version of W7 (NOT THE FULL RETAIL DISK).
Can they please answer the question
Does it check to see if the previous version of Windows is actually ACTIVATED before it does its install stuff.
(I don't care what it *might* say or not say on the MS site. I'm curious to see if you really do have to have an activated version of Windows to use the upgrade disk).
Note I'm not asking if you can do a CLEAN install as you WILL be able to -- for example you have to run the install file from Windows XP initially and then at boot time it will give you the CUSTOM install (Clean) and disable the upgrade on the menu.
Cheers
