Vista Upgrade Question

[saeltmarae2k]

Hey guys,

I searched for this but didn't find anything. With a Vista upgrade disc, can I do a clean install? I know that some programs just verify that you own a previous version by inserting the media, but have never tried it with Windows. I'm trying to figure out if I need to buy the full version, or the upgrade version...nonetheless, I do not want to perform a true "upgrade."

Thanks!

There is a well-documented workaround you can do with the upgrade disc to get it to do a clean install. Basically, it requires you to install Vista twice. This is one of many sites that spells it out:
