Windows 7 Upgrade?

I am running Snow Leopard on an iMac and want to use Windows 7 with Parallels. Am I able to use the Windows 7 Upgrade edition to install the virtual machine using Parallels? I do have a copy of Windows XP that I'm not using, but I'd rather just do a clean install of Windows 7 from the upgrade disc. I have read on some sites that there are several ways to do clean installs of Windows 7 without having to install or use a previous version first. But I didn't know if this will work with Parallels? If not, would I have to do a VM install of WinXP first and then upgrade from within the virtual machine? That sounds complicated...

Please advise...
 
I am running Parallel 5 with Windows xp. I was only able to purchase the upgrade version of Windows 7. But unfortunetly, it gives me error when I try to install the windows 7. Have you been able to upgrade your XP to windows 7?
 
I was able to upgrade from XP to Windows 7 this weekend. Everything went pretty smoothly. I did have to uninstall and then reinstall Tools
 
My apology - I am trying to upgrade from Vista to WIndows 7 pro and having a ruff time to get it to work. It is not XP to windows7.
 
My apology - I am actually trying to upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 PRO. How can I do that that? I need the process as no matter what I do , the installtion gives me error.
