The upgrade version of Windows 7 only allows you to "upgrade" from Vista, whereas the full version allows you to do an upgrade or a clean installation. A clean install is always best, as upgrades lead to driver, applications and other incompatibilities and problems.

Honestly, I wish the upgrade version didn\'t even exist.

Hope this helped.
