New OS = clean install drive?

[wmalan]

After I finish up this project, I need to move to Windows7 64bit on this single pc so I can add some memory to my existing 4gigs. I'm currently on XPPro 32bit.

Is there ANY chance I can "upgrade" the install or should I just assume a fresh wipe and install everything again to be safe. (OS upgrades are SO unproductive...).

Answer to self.. No. Just found the faq on the MS site. Only 32bit to 32bit or 64 to 64 upgrades. Hmmm... That should kill a full morning.

That's what happens when ones been confined in a room with no human interaction for hours at a time... Sometimes complete conversations with oneself. <g>
