| | Welcome to the Seven Forums! Almost everyone here is going to recommend an clean install, because upgrade installs have been known to cause bugs. Upgrade install is easier, but clean install is ... well, cleaner! Upgrade install will seamlessly restore all your programs, files, and settings, whereas those things must be manually backed up and restored/reinstalled if you do a clean install. On the other hand, Clean install doesn't leave behind the potential loose ends that can result from an upgrade install. |
