I'm thinking of upgrading to Win 7, but would also like to take this
opportunity for fresh install/re format

Tesco have Win7 Premium Upgrade for £59

Can/how do I do fresh install of Win 7 - Would I have to re-install Vista
and then Win 7 upgrade - or would i have to buy complete Win 7 rather than
upgrade/cheaper version?

Yes you can use your upgrade disk to do a fresh install. I believe you will
need to install twice. Do a Google search and you will find out how to do
it.

The subject line is to describe the post.

Where I am typing now is the BODY of the post.

You put the body in the subject line. That isn't normal posting, also,
running sentences together is not normal. That means you must not be
normal. Please schedule an appointment with your psychiatrist and discuss
your anger and mental issues prior to posting again.

Thank you.

Will a fresh install with an upgrade disc work on a virtual machine for
Win7? This article seems to indicate that upgrade discs cannot do a
fresh install:
