hey everyone, much like most of you I recently got the prompt to upgrade to windows 10 when it launches in the next couple of months. now my questions when the upgrade becomes avaible would it be better to do a fresh install over an upgrade install?
I would rather not do a fresh install because I have way to many files on my pc I would loose unless I backed them up and plus I don't have to go through the hassle of re downloading and installing all of my games and programs because im lazy lol, but if it would impact performance I guess I would go ahead do it but if it wouldn't affect anything I would just do the upgrade method.
the last time I did an upgrade install with on os was vista and that was on top of a freshly installed xp back in 06 so its been a long time since I have done this type of format, I normally do a fresh install of the os.
