    Hey folks

    Can some expert do up a step-by-step tutorial on how to install windows 7 using the upgrade disc?

    And make it a sticky so that we don't have to search for it all over again... (mods please help!)

    :)

    Its the same way as an OEM or a retail copy. Just insert the disc, boot from it and follow the directions. Make sure you format the Hard drive.

    Don't forget to delete the partition, to repartion it and to reinitialize it. Then put windows 7 in it.
