Custom Install basically means that you must install the operating system from scratch. If you run the installation when already booted into Windows and choose a system drive for installation, the wizard will ask if you want to move all the files on the existing partition to a new folder called Windows.old.
As you can see, the large number of cells in the graph may be confusing or too intimidating for many. Ed Bott has made a simplified version of the chart that I personally find much easier to understand.
