clean install = the primary drive will become empty & Win7 comes with many generic drivers for the graphics, audio & LAN. i'll suggest clean install, not upgrade as some have reported long installation times. but you'll have to install all your softwares again.

Given that the extras provided by Ultimate is hardly used and can be done using free 3rd party tools, get Home Preimum. Its' worth every penny.
