Yes, it does clear up my question. I will do that but first I will finish doing a back up of the files I currently have with Vista 64, just to have it. I will then do the custom install like you said and then move the files from the windows.old. It may be a windows.old.000 as I already have a windows.old file there. I got the real upgrade off ebay for $80, no tax and free shipping. After reading up on the different versions I decided the home premium is all I will use.
I did not realize that with windows 7 you can actually use the windows.old files because with Vista you could not use them as you would use a back up.
Thanks for the added information.
