I'm building my own computer for the first time later this week, and I am wondering how to install Windows 7. I have a Student copy of Windows Vista 32 bit (i am unsure if this includes the 64 bit version as well). I also have access to a windows 7 Professional/ultimate "upgrade" that i can either purchase at a discount through my school, or download it free of charge. My question is, once i install windows vista, and download the windows 7 install disc (64 bit version) which as i've read requires a clean install, can i use the download to do this (the clean install) or do i need the disc, and can I do it with a "upgrade" disc, or do i need an actual full Windows 7 Install disc?
Note: I have 8gb of ram, which is why i want the 64bit version.
