Clean Install Vs Image install

[Pantz]

Hello everyone, i am considering doing a Clean install of Windows 7 X64, i also have a image of windows 7 X64 dated 3-12-13, when i upgrades my desktop, i was wondering which is the best way to go,

Thanks in advance.

What are you upgrading? The whole PC or just certain components in your current rig?

If you keep the same mobo i would image, if you change mobo i would clean install
Changing ram or hdd wouldnt really matter, if you change gpu just be sure to clean out old drivers before installing new ones

hello again, i did the upgrade in march of 2013, that's the image i have, i upgraded most parts to what i have now, SSD, 8 Gigs , Asus MB, Ect,

I transfred the OS from a HDD to the SDD, back in march of 2013,

since i am having a few issues that i cannot resolve, i was just wondering whats the best way to proceed.

thanks in advance

What issues are you having? More information please.

If you already did the upgrade before your saved image then that would be the easiest
