No a full version is not an upgrade, as you do not need to have either
another operating system installed first, or a blank hard drive and the
older operating systems CD and licence key handy.
That is why upgrades are cheaper, as you are not buying the licence number
etc a fresh, even though the upgrade can be installed onto a empty hard
drive.
A full version will over write the older version of Windows, or ask you if
you want to dual boot it, but you still need a full Licence number for that
new OS.
Hope that explains it for you.

Doesn't the full version act as an upgrade version as well?
