You can do a Full install if you only have the Upgrade media. Microsoft says you can't, but the following link explains otherwise.

It sounds like for some people it just works, however for others you have to go through the same hacks you had to do with Vista, such as installing a "trial" version, and then upgrading your trial. There is a nice guide at the Windows SuperSite with a bunch of things to try.
