I don't know why this info seems so hard to come by but I am going to change over my old Vista 32 HD to a new 1 T HD. I want to install 7 clean on that new drive and use my old as a storage volume.
My old HD was upgraded using a Vista upgrade disk.
If I buy a Windows 7 Home premium upgrade disk 64 bit will I just be able to insert the old Vista upgrade disk to prove eligabilty like you could do when installing and upgrade version of XP?
I hope I don't need to buy the full version when I have already paid for the Vista upgrade.

I hope I made my question clear.

The answer, I'm told, is ... Yes (http://community.winsupersite.com/blogs/paul/archive/2009/06/25/clean-install-with-windows-7-upgrade-media-what-about-x64-upgrades.aspx). You can perform a clean install of Windows 7 with the Upgrade media, as you could with Windows Vista.
