Nvm i got it :P slow ass SFU email service.

Anyways I am using XP32bit and I want to upgrade to Win7 64bit.

From my knowledge:
-If you want to upgrade from XP -> Win7 you must do a clean install regardless.
-You dont get a hard copy disc unless you want to pay like 13 bux more and wait X amount of days for it to be shipped.
-You download an .exe file instead of an iso.
-Lots of people are reporting that you cant do a clean install with the .exe file and they need to do it by booting up a disc so a solution I found was make that .exe into an ISO and burn it then boot it up

The guide can be found here:

If you guys have trouble maybe look through all the pages and find the answer to your problem. I am gonna buy and try this sometime tmr when I see some more people with good results :P

Edit: It seems those upgrading from vista who might have similar problem can use that iso method as well
