Do i need to have vista to install windows 7 or can i do it from a clean install? -

Hi, I m Cody, and I m working with the Windows Outreach Team to help answer questions users might have about the upcoming Windows 7 Beta release. As far as upgrades go, the Windows 7 Beta only supports Windows Vista SP1 to Windows 7 upgrades. So if you intend to do an upgrade – be sure it is on a PC running Windows Vista with Service Pack 1. The other answerers are, however, right. . .you should be able to perform a clean install of Windows 7 on your system too. We ll know more when the download becomes available later today. If you do attempt to perform a clean install of the operating system, please take extra caution to back up all files and doucments on your current system. Thanks, Cody Windows Outreach Team

You can do a clean install, but why worry? Full version isn t out for a year.

Clean install should work.
