Installing Windows 7 upgrade version on a clean disk
- by BobMarley
Is it possible to install the much cheaper Windows 7 upgrade version on a clean disk? What information will I need?
1) Will the Windows 7 installer ask me for my XP license key?
or
2) Will the Windows 7 installer only run if it can detect an existing XP installation?
Furthermore, what will happen if my disk crashes and I need to reinstall in the future? Will I need my XP license key again?
