Different versions of any operating system do not play well with each other. Like Vista and Windows 98 for example. You would never try to install Vista on top of 98, would you!! A clean install is always the best way(re-format and install). It is never a good idea to install one operating system over the other. There are thousands of files you don't see that are interdependent on each other(and change from one version to the next) to make things simple for you.
