32 bit Vista to 32 bit Win7, Clean or dirty?
Hi all,
Glad I found you!! Now I'm hoping for some quick advice. I currently am running 2 computers, a desktop and laptop, both with 32 bit Vista. I purchased Win7 Family Pk today and am preparing to install. However, I've a couple questions. I wanna "Wipe the slate clean." With my kids on my systems all the time, I'm sure I've got some bugs somewhere...lol, even with all the security I run. So, I am wanting to do an install that will wipe the hard drive clean. I guess Win7 refers to this as a "custom install," though I've always referred to it as a "clean install." I plan to back up everything I want to save onto an external hard drive.
I'm wanting to make sure I'm doing it correctly and am a little confused about how to go about partitioning the hard drive. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!
