[QUOTE="Aus_Snow, post: 5043642, member: 29112"] It looks to me as though you could go for the Premium Upgrade, and opt for the 'clean install'. But I don't know for sure. I have Premium [64-bit] (finally hopped ship from XP) and it's actually very nice. Nothing missing, that I would need. Perhaps, if you use a lot of XP-era software on a regular basis, Professional might be the go. But then again, I've heard you can get away with Premium, even for that. There's a comparison chart over at Microsoft.com - the W7 section, naturally. I don't see anything particularly compelling about Professional or Ultimate. Unlike Vista (ugh) where each level seemed to have something going for it (for non-corporate usage, I mean.) Sorry, I don't know about the backup and restore bit either. . . :-S All I did (as usual) was to backup documents, etc. to my external USB 2.0 HDD, and copy them back when W7 was up and running. I actually back things up every week, so I just did an extra one to catch a few little changes and additions. Wish I could've been more help. . . someone else will be, I'm sure. Just getting into this post-XP world, m'self. :) edit --- oops, ninja'd somewhat. :uhoh: [/QUOTE]
