I probably sound stupid asking these questions.
First Question: Say if i wanted to do an clean install would i have to re install processers?

Second Question: With the upgrade option. Have microsoft realeased a upgrade cd or does it come with the normal box????


Thankyou

Answer to First Question:

When you install the final version of Windows 7, you'll need to do a clean installation. So plan on backing up your data then reinstalling your applications and restoring your data

Answer to Second Question:

The date for the general availability of Win7 Upgrade & Full Installation DVDs is October 22nd. Head to BestBuy midnight October 21 and wait in line. It's three months away - why are you in a hurry.

You won't need new hardware to upgrade from rc1 to regular windows 7.

What do you mean by E-System, are you referring to an eMachine recovery disc(s)?

The recovery shouldn't require a product key. Either way, your machine should have come with an authentic COA affixed to it. The activation, however, should be automatic upon recovery since you have a volume license.

You heard wrong. You can NOT upgrade. You will have to wipe the drive clean & start from scratch. See Sabertooth's post directly above your's....

"my computer calles it E-System"

E-System computers are made by PC World. It is not an eMachines.
