Pre ordering windows 7

Maybe im being a lemon here but could someone tell me the difference between these 2 versions of windows 7 from amazon. Number 1 is Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium, Full Version and number 2 is Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium, Upgrade Edition,

Get the full version. It's cheaper anyway!

You would need the full version if you didn't have a previous copy of windows, however it will act as an upgrade if you do have. Therefore, the full version is better than just the upgrade on it's own.

I assume you aren't a student?

Get the full version and do a fresh install. Either get a new hard drive and use that or put the stuff you want to keep from your old hard drive on a USB drive or DVD and then format your hard drive and install from the beginning.

There's really no need for anyone in the UK to get the upgrade edition.

I always check, as a lot of people don't seem to know about the student versions!

lol. I've got 2 .ac.uk addresses, which is the benefit of choosing to keep your uni address after you leave!

what about a family pack is it less?

A family pack covers 3 computers so for each computer I would expect the licence to be less but the overall price to be higher but so far it isn't available on pre-order and there is no price set.
