Default Upgrading from Vista to Win 7

Hi OCN

I just recieved my Windows 7 Home Premium Full Retail Edition.

I wanted to know how long does it take if you do a Upgrade instead of clean installtion. I have to much on my HDD to do a Clean install

Well, that's like asking "How much does a box of rocks weigh?" ...it depends on the size of the box and how many rocks are in it.

I've done a few W7 upgrades and it takes about 45 minutes starting with a relatively small base install, so I'd suspect a hour or two with a disk with a lot of files and programs on it.

But why does it matter? You already said you're going to do it.
