Okay, I'm looking at taking the plunge and upgrading from XP, which I've had forever, to 7 (Looking at the OP, and given that it's primarilyfor gaming, microsoft word, and internet browsing, Home Premium looks like a go-er). The version of XP I have is itself an upgrade edition, and was upgraded from a copy of 98SE. MY questions are: 1. Will it allow me to upgrade from an upgrade edition? 2. Is it possible/easy to set up dual-boot XP/7? 2.5. Will upgrading from XP negate my ability to use that particular copy of XP as my alternative OS in a dual-boot setup? 3. I'm not completely up on how upgrade editions work. If I have windows 7 installed and validated, and wish to to a periodic scrub and clean re-install of my OS partition, do I have to essentially go back to the XP install, or can I do it over the existing install (stupid question, I know, but I'd like to be sure). 4. Just to clarify, are 32 and 64-bit located on the same media, or do you have to purchase a specific version? Cheers.

Thanks for the reply; it's much appreciated. Two new questions, though: 1. Will it allow me to upgrade from 32-bit XP to 64-bit W7? I read somewhere that you can't upgrade from Vista 32b to 7 32b. Diviance posted:
2. But are both discs included in the same purchase package? Once again, thanks.
