[QUOTE="dziugi, post: 1050734, member: 154485"] Thanks for pointing out that communications is very often a challenge. Indeed my thread title may not be accurate, but your suggested title reflects my failure in clearly phrasing my set of questions. I'll try again, a little differently. – For MY case, given the aforementioned situation and ultimate goal of having Windows 7 on my MBP, I was hoping to ascertain whether I can get by with purchasing the Windows 7 Upgrade Version. I know that I could use the XP in the interim, but I was not anxious to install it if that's not a prerequisite for using the Windows 7 Upgrade - and then how would I delete the XP later. Some of what I had read about Clean Install using the Upgrade implied that it would be extra simple, because I have no other installed Windows software and drivers to worry about. You addressed this "mess" as part of your reply, and I thank you for that. Had you dismissed the Clean Install using the Upgrade without XP preinstalled as unworkable? Thanks again. Ugie [/QUOTE]
