hello, I'm new here
I would like to know witch copy of windows 7 should I buy.
I'm currently have win vista premium 32-bit. I am gonna uppgrade to win 7 home premium 64-bit. I know that you can only uppgrade from 32 to 32 and from 64 to 64. But, can you do a clean install with an upgrade DVD?, since I already have a vista key, or I have to buy a full version?
:confused:

All of my systems still run fastest on XP 32-bit for the most part. Win7 is fun to play with, but I still prefer XP for raw speed, security, and functionality.

Upgrade version will work. vista premium>>>win 7 premium no problem. The change from 32 to 64 doesnt matter for what you buy
