    Upgrade Vista to Win7 RC with no dvd-drive


    And tips on how to do that, and is it even possible?

    I wanna get Win7 on my girlfriends computer, and they are not yet selling family licenses in my country (!!), so I was hoping I could upgrade her Win Vista to Win7 without having to do a clean format.
