Pro Upgrade - what if I want to re-install?

Hi,

There's a special offer for the Windows 8 Pro upgrade for students which would be cheaper than the next cheapest method which would be to get Windows 8 OEM copy.

My question is - I know it says you must have Windows 7 to install Windows 8 Pro Upgrade, but what if I want to re-install fresh in the future? i.e. I want to format and do a complete re-install? Will it work? Is it possible? Or is it seriously just a one-time upgrade from an existing installation only?

Thanks.

You can do a clean install, but you need to delete the Windows 7 install.

What about upgrading the software? The software covered by this agreement is an upgrade to your existing operating system software, so the upgrade replaces the original software that you are upgrading. You do not retain any rights to the original software after you have upgraded and you may not continue to use it or transfer it in any way. This agreement governs your rights to use the upgrade software and replaces the agreement for the software from which you upgraded. After you complete your upgrade, additional software will be required to playback or record certain types of media, including DVDs.
