What is a Builder DVD? I have a great computer running Vista 64 bit with 8 gig memory and a decent hard drive. Can I just wipe the hard drive and install from scratch?
I dont know what a builder DVD is, but if its a full version of Win 7 it should work. You dont need to wipe hard drive. I think you can put it in the DVD and restart and it will go to an install menu. This would be a better way. You may need to manually search on web for a driver for something, but the DVD should install.

I would do the install "off-line" and be sure to turn off any auto updates before going inline. Otherwise it will nag you to eternity about upgrading to Win10.

Also, the standard stuff; back up all your documents, shortcuts, programs, etc.
