Reformating with windows 7 upgrade question.

I just upgraded to windows 7 with my free upgrade. The same shit that was hitting the fan with vista has returned and I want to reformat and hope it works. Will I still be able to install vista and upgrade to w7 again without problems... ie cd code problems?


Thanks

You should be able to upgrade without issue. just make sure you use the same key for Vista, activate your Vista before you upgrade to 7.

re: Reformating with windows 7 upgrade question.

I'm assuming you've received an upgrade disc. You can do a clean install of Windows using solely the Windows 7 upgrade disc.

Insert upgrade disc
Reboot PC
Once 'press any key to boot form CD/DVD' pops up, press any key
Once the files are loaded go to 'advanced' options and perform a format
Continue to install Windows 7
Once Windows 7 is installed, don't do anything, but boot the DVD from the DVD drive
Perform upgrade
Once the upgrade is complete, insert upgrade key to activate.
