    Dude, why do you think it called upgrade? if you upgrade your car, it will continue to drive... only better :)

    It is wiser to do a clean install though. Gives you a clutterless registry and the fatest performance.
     
    Stop hovering to collapse... Click to collapse... Hover to expand... Click to expand...

    Yes I totally agree with you there clean install, but the question was Upgrade also most people only have the dvd that came with computer and rather than editing dvd e.c.t for novice user upgrade by just entering another OEM slp key is the way to go :)
