Update or fresh install?

Generally speaking, a fresh install on a wiped hard drive is the best insurance against potential problems; leftover registry items and other orphaned legacy files can lurk in your system for months, only to cause unanticipated conflicts with a newly-installed program or driver at a later date. Unless you are upgrading from Windows 2000 to XP, a fresh install is recommended.

Give it Time

When preparing to install a new Operating System, it’s best to make sure you’ve got the time to do it right. The process of formatting the drive, installing the software, new drivers, and all your programs is one that can take several hours. Try to plan a time when you can focus on the task at hand without major distractions, if possible, and aren’t likely to be pulled away mid-install or tempted to skip a step…..what might appear to be an

insignificant item at first glance could end up causing you major aggravation down the line, so it’s best to lay this foundation right before putting the computer into regular service.
