Vista is different

Be careful with this, you could end up not being able to boot if you change things.
Do you only have the Vista upgrade disc?!!

I only have the Vista upgrade disk.
However, a while ago I was able to get one of those microsoft accounts where you can DL software and keys and I think I have an Vista Pro (SP2?) so I think I have that ISO, but I'll have to check. (this was posted on HUKD and my account was cosed a few days later)
Could I just use any Vista disk seeing as I have a genuine key?
To be honest I could probably do with doing a clean install (the pain!
) and will probably do this unless I can find an easy solution that won't risk properly cocking up my PC.
Just wondering if I'm going to all the trouble, might I just as well upgrade to W7?
Also, if I do a fresh install, whould I just put my new 1.5TB HDD in alongside one of the old ones, then just install on the smaller drive?0
