You use those terms very differently from the way most people do. A
clean installation is not a kind of upgrade, it's the opposite of an
upgrade. You can *change* from XP to Windrows 7, but you can't upgrade
to it.

Can't is not accurate. You can indeed upgrade your OS by going from XP to
W7.

Ignore the muppets who have replied thus far. You can buy an upgrade
copy of Windows 7 and do a clean install. M$ is desperate for people to
buy its products and so they have made it easier for people to buy a
cheaper version of its products especially those who wants to do a clean
install of Windows 7.

I have tried it, done it and it all works as it should.. THERE IS NO
NEED TO HAVE ANY QUALIFYING PRODUCT TO DO A CLEAN INSTALL OF WINDOWS 7.
Only the muppets and idiots will buy the full version.
