I currently have Windows XP Pro on a system with an AMD Athlon 64 and 1GB of RAM and I would like to upgrade to Vista, but I feel like my hard drive is chalk full of tiny fragments and remnants of various programs and files that I have installed and removed over the years and although I think I'm pretty good about virus/worm/spyware/adware protection, there's a chance there's stuff I don't know about. So, my question is...will buying the upgrade version completely remove any old junk on my HD, including infections, or do I have to buy the full version and format my HD first? If that's the case, how do I format my HD?
**I don't have the installation software for Windows XP, it was pre-installed so I just have some sort of recovery disc.**
Thanks!!!
