Hi there I downloaded Windows 7 upgrade copy yesterday.

I have three files now in the place of the downloader. One .exe and two .box files.

I want to make a fresh install of Windows 7 in place of the RC that I'm currently running.

My question is, how do i make this copy bootable so I can do a clean install?

Also my desktop is a new custom build, 7 RC is the first operating system I installed on it. What are my options?

You can try selecting CUSTOM install. It will save all of your old files to windows.old and do a fresh install. The problem you have is that you have an upgrade license that is supposed to be used with XP or Vista. Technically going from the RC to the retail version you are not "upgrading" per the license.
