Windows Forum / Windows Vista / Setup and Deployment / November 2006Installing Vista from OEM XP Pro
As with previous versions of windows will it be posible to a clean install from a Vista upgrade disk, assuming it will ask to check the CD and key? Or would this approach require a full install disk? many thanks The response from MSFT reps seem to indicate 'No' to your 1st question, but you'll probably have to wait until you get your hands on a RTM DVD to find out for sure. You may have to wait for the answer to your 2nd question, too. > As with previous versions of windows will it be posible to a clean install > from a Vista upgrade disk, assuming it will ask to check the CD and key? > > Or would this approach require a full install disk? > > many thanks Ah well time will tell I guess > The response from MSFT reps seem to indicate 'No' to your > 1st question, but you'll probably have to wait until you get [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > > > many thanks The RTM DVD do not upgrade. All it do is to move all old files (c:\documents and settings, C:\Windows, C:\program files) into a c:\windows.old dir.
