Hi, I'm new to the community, and I'm sure this question is quite elemetary, please forgive me.
How exactly do the windows 7 upgrades work? (based on what you've read, or based on how window's has done upgrades in the past)
Right now I'm running the window's seven beta, can I buy an 'upgrade' version of windows 7, or will i need an installed version of xp or vista on my machine to run the upgrade?
can you do a 'clean install' of windows seven from the 'upgrade' version?
I don't have either an xp or vista key, so what's the best course of action.... my copy of windows seven is good for another year i believe.... should i buy an windows seven upgrade (now for a discount) , then buy vista in a year when it will be cheaper? Or a copy of Xp (if they still sell it?)
sorry, I assume this is a noobish question, but any help and advice i'd greatly appreciate. Thanks.
