    And by all means create an image of Windows 7 first.

    One last question.

    Assuming I do upgrade and activation goes successful, how long do I have to wait before I do a clean install with confidence that the MS activation servers will remember the machine? I don't want to attach license to my MS account as this is a client machine.

    Thanks

    As soon as the upgrade activates. If you go to the activation tab of the updates & security settings control panel you will see Windows is activated with a digital license.

    Thank you sir. Wanted to do a clean install but looks like I will do upgrade, activate and re-install.
