Workaround Discovered For “Clean Install” With Vista Upgrade DVDs

January 31, 2007 by Paul Spoerry Leave a Comment

I know several people who’ve purchased new PC’s with a Vista Upgrade disk. Now that Vista is out, the question was “will I only be able to upgrade or can I perform a clean install?” I ALWAYS perform a clean install. After time, the OS just gets junked up and if I’m gunna lay down a new OS, it’s going to be on a clean installation. Well, the gang over at dailytech.com has apparently figured out how to use a Vista upgrade disk to perform a clean installation.
