Things before upgrading from vista to windows 7 please help!
I am getting a Windows 7 upgrade for Christmas and i want it to be a "fresh" install but i have read that you cant do this. I have been told that if i want to do this i will have to reformat the disk . If i do reformat the disk, will it go back to be as fast as it was when i first got it?
Also, there is a few files like some pictures and microsoft word 2007 that i would want to keep. Is there any way to backup these before i reformat the disk?
also, any tips before upgrading? thanks
Additional:
I have windows vista home premium 64bit
toshiba satellite a500
500gb memory
4gb ram
