WIN 7 Build 7100 Re-installation

[CarolinaGuy]

My WIN 7 system has become very sluggish.

Can I do an in-place re-installation without loosing my programs and data. Or should I back up all data and do a new installation.

No, you will need to backup all your data and reinstall...

Also, the http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/11470-windows-easy-transfer-transfer-computers.html can save your user files then you can use the same utility to copy the files back to your new installation

   Note

It's best to store the saved file to a seperate partition or device as a clean install will erase all files from your install HD

Hope this helps
