Coming from Vista, you can choose during install to do an in-place upgrade. This will move over your files, settings, and programs.

Alternatively you can choose the recommended route of doing a custom/fresh install. This means you need to back up everything you need first. The operating system will be installed just like when a computer is new, and all your programs and files will be wiped over. You’ll need to reinstall all your programs, etc. afterward yourself. However, you’ll be less likely to have the kinds of conflicts and compatibility problems that can come from doing an in-place upgrade.

Hello,
yes when you do a new installation of Windows 7 it will format/erase the hard drive and remove all data and programs on the computer.

You may be able to do an Upgrade install if you have Vista but you will get the best results using a ‘clean install’ that way you are not having to work with old code written for previous versions of Windows.

Want to upgrade to Windows 7?
Use the Upgrade Advisor tool to find out if your PC can run Windows 7.
