Hi all, I have just upgraded to windows 7 from xp,everything went very well and everything working.But i am a bit confused about re-installing if anything goes wrong.If i need to re-install do i do a clean install or the custom install which i did to upgrade.
The reason i am confused is because xp is now gone,will windows 7 know that i have already upgraded.I hope this makes sense !!!Also i am sorry if this has already been posted,i have looked on google to find the answers but it does not make much sense.thank you.
