There's an excellent rundown of the Windows 7 upgrade situation here: http://windowssecrets.com/2009/11/12/02-Fully-install-Windows-7-from-the-upgrade-disc/#story1 http://tinyurl.com/yjb489x Bottom line, there's no difference between the upgrade and the full versions. There's absolutely no need to pay extra for the full version. And don't try an in-place upgrade: ...I strongly recommend that people perform a custom (clean) install. Yes, that entails reinstalling programs and re-entering your custom system settings, but it's still my advice even if you have a PC that can accommodate an in-place upgrade. Sticking Win7 on top of an old copy of Windows is like building a new house on old landfill. You never know what's going to come to the surface, or where, or when. A very large percentage of the problems people are having with Windows 7 installations occur with in-place upgrades. The writer (Woody Leonhard) says some folks are having problems with the installation stalling partway through, and that he'll be dealing with that and other glitches in future columns, so stay tuned... --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, BillyG wg...@... wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Vaj vajradhatu@ wrote: On Nov 11, 2009, at 6:38 AM, BillyG wrote: snip FYI, I attempted to install it 6 times (the upgrade version) and it stalled at 27% everytime!!

Thanks for that important information, though, I did a clean install and it did the same thing, stalled at 27%. My upgrade version would not install even with just XP, I had to put in SP2 before it would allow me to proceed. I'm assuming the full version would let you install from a clean formatted hard drive. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, authfriend jst...@... wrote: There's an excellent rundown of the Windows 7 upgrade situation here: http://windowssecrets.com/2009/11/12/02-Fully-install-Windows-7-from-the-upgrade-disc/#story1 http://tinyurl.com/yjb489x Bottom line, there's no difference between the upgrade and the full versions.

Well, keep checking back at the site, because he said he'll address that very problem. Whether he'll provide a solution is another question, but at least if *he* can't, you'll know there isn't one. (You know who Woody Leonhard is, right?) My upgrade version would not install even with just XP, I had to put in SP2 before it would allow me to proceed. I'm assuming the full version would let you install from a clean formatted hard drive. The *upgrade* version will allow you to do that, according to him. Do read the whole thing. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, authfriend jstein@ wrote: There's an excellent rundown of the Windows 7 upgrade situation here: http://windowssecrets.com/2009/11/12/02-Fully-install-Windows-7-from-the-upgrade-disc/#story1 http://tinyurl.com/yjb489x Bottom line, there's no difference between the upgrade and the full versions.
