Help Please: Install Windows 7 Eliminate Windows XP Pro

[RayPaula]

Hi,
I purchased Windows 7 Ultimate (Not an upgrade) to replace/eliminate my current Windows XP Pro. I believe what I need to do is called a custom (clean) install. Could you point me in the right direction of a good tutorial on this? I am currently backing up all my files on an external hard drive as well as disc. Your help would be most appreciated. Thanks, Ray

A few extra hints and no additional cost:

Do what I did go to YouTube. Its a great feeling when you are installing, to know exactly what is going to happen and when. Its like doing it a second time.

Second hint. After you use the system, have all programs etc. and you are happy. Use the system image feature. Make a copy of your HD and put it in a safe place. Update it once a month. If you ever have a problem, that you cannot remedy, you always will have your back up.

Good Luck, Ray.
