Well it doesn't really. "upgrading" never produces the result a clean install would. The result is more times than not very unsatisfactory. Plus "upgrading" from vista to win7 takes an age anyway. So if you had enough time to sit through all that you would have been better off backing up your data and doing a clean install. The result would be much better.

There is probably an oil residue on it! Go watch the "build a PC" video on the Tested.com website. Lloyd Case helps them during the OS install when it hangs. His immediate response was clean the disk with dishsoap and water. Dude, just clean the disk. There is probably an oil residue on it! Go watch the "build a PC" video on the Tested.com website.

You can quickly move all personal files to my docs for example and not lose anything... or just keep all files there. That's all I do anymore. Works perfect.

Lots of data, apps, etc. As you might have assumed, there are a lot of pc's in my lab, 11 and 3 servers. Wiping, installing, re-installing, it's a pain in the ass. Upgrading works when you don't have time. Unfortunately, sometimes it's more of a headache. Also, because I write for this site, I try to find issues and resolutions for them for our readers.
