This document provides general information that you should know before installing
Microsoft® Windows® 7.
Two options exist for installing Windows 7:

If your current version of Windows can be upgraded, choose Upgrade to keep your files, settings, and programs. (If your version of Windows can’t be upgraded, you'll need to choose Custom, which installs a new version of Windows.)
