Clean Install

Purchased a new Medion Desk Top PC and have taken up the free upgrade offer to Win7 OS.
Will it be possible do a Clean Install with that disk? No doubt when I get it I will find out but would like to know before hand.
Regards

Clean Install

First of all, won't the selling dealer install it for you. He offered it free.
Secondly at least ask the selling dealer if you need a clean install. My understanding is that you can load over the top if you are currently using Vista but it may lose a few of your current applications. Irrespective of your current OS, a clean install is always a safe bet but it will require you to back up your data and reload your software............William

Clean Install

Thanks William.
Notified by email last week that the disk will arrive within the next two weeks from Germany.
I think you are correct. A clean install will be the way to go.
Cheers
