Windows 7 New Install - Step 9 of 29

In the Which type of installation do you want? window that appears next, you're offered the choice of Upgrade and Custom (advanced).

Click on the Custom (advanced) button.

Note: Since you're performing a new installation of Windows 7 on a new or previously formatted hard drive, there is no previous operating system to upgrade from so an Upgrade installation is not possible.
