Hi Saed,

Yes. For the best results, it is always better to do a clean install.
It is a bit trickier with a Upgrade version, but it can be done easily.
Here is a link with details on how to do a clean install from a Upgrade
Vista.

Hope this helps,

How can you run both operating systems on one computer? I think I need xp to
burn my audio books. It is not working in vista. Would it be possibnle to use
xp for Audible and vista for the rest?
