You can install an upgrade on a clean drive as long as you have the CD of a previous Win version that qualified you for the upgrade price.

Problem is, if I buy an upgrade, I believe I must install it on top of the previous version. If I buy a full version it is super expensive. What is the best strategy to follow here?
