Can I do a fresh install of Windows if all I have is an
Update CD-ROM
If you have a CD that says "Upgrade" and not the full
version of Windows, you can still do a "fresh" install of Windows. You
will need the software from your previous operating system handy, but you will
not have to install it. When the Upgrade CD searches for the files to verify you
have a pre-existing qualifying product it will prompt you to insert your
previous software to check and then ask that you put your Upgrade CD back in the
computer to finish.
