What is a custom (clean) installation?

A custom installation replaces your current version of Windows with Windows 7 but doesn’t preserve your files, settings, and programs (it’s often referred to as a clean installation for this reason). For installation instructions, see Upgrading from Windows Vista to Windows 7 (custom installation). You can perform a custom installation using either the upgrade or full version of Windows 7.
