Hi All
currently I am using the 7068 version. I would like to try the 7100 version since the 7068 have problem with the mp3 file and audio with too much background. Anyways, my question is simple, should I do the upgrade to 7100 or fresh installation? Thanks
Hello Dpham, and welcome to Seven Forums. :)
I have always found it best to do a clean install with beta versions of a OS to avoid having any issues from a previous build in the new build.

I have 7068 x64 too - I know its better to do a fresh install, but does an upgrade actually work?
Hello Zach.
Yes, upgrade installations usually work just fine, but I would recommend to backup anything that you do not want to lose to be safe though. :)
Upgrade Install with Windows 7

I agree with Brink, its always best to full install. You get a nice clean system that way and hopefully no problems.
So put the disc in again and this time when you get to chose which drive to install on, hit options and format the partition. Make sure you back anything up you want to keep before you do anything with install.
thanks a lot for input...
is there any freeware or way from windows 7 to do the driver backup before a fresh installtion?
It's best to just reinstall the drivers from their installation files. I have all my device drivers saved to a USB key and on a extra partition to make it easier to do.
Hope this helps,
Shawn
