Can I clean install win7 using HP upgrade media?

You cannot perform a 'clean install' from ANY 'upgrade media' To do a 'clean install' means to install an operating system on a freshly formatted, clean disk drive. Where as using upgrade media will do just that, 'upgrade' from one version of an ALREADY installed O/S (Operating System) to a later version. (By changing some files, not deleting the O/S) Windows 7 can normally be installed as an upgrade if the computer in question has already has Windows Vista installed (and in your case the 'HP upgrade media' is to upgrade to 'Windows 7') Computers running Windows XP cannot normally be upgraded but would require a full (fresh) install.So you can check your existing system Microsoft have developed a small down-loadable utility.

You can get it from here.. microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?Fam... or here windows.microsoft.com/upgradeadvisor.

Here are two resources I found that could be what you are looking for: community.winsupersite.com/blogs/paul/ar... pcsupport.about.com/od/operatingsystems/... Hope this helps. If not, let me know and I will continue my research on the subject.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
