Vista Upgrade to Win7 ?

I know many that have upgraded ONLY and had no problems. The problem is that
YOU think you ALWAYS know better.

Pointing out that someone is clearly misleading
is hardly improper.

John, if that is your real name, why do you always FU a topic.

Ack, I've regained my sanity. I don't want to buy an upgrade. I
tried that once and it was a long-term pain-in-the-ass.

I have never done a full install of a Windows OS; I've always
upgraded and have not had any major problems at all. That was
starting from Win3.11-to-Win95 through now.

Your alleged personal experience and trolling aside, the vast
majority of us skilled users know that a clean install of Windows
is always best. That is well-known and well tested advice. Use an
incremental backup of Windows, and the trouble will be more than
worthwhile.

Of course, YMMV and the choice is yours. I would
prefer not having to reinstall all my programs.

It's all over the Internet, just do a simple search for "clean install".
The vast majority of skilled users know better than you.
