Backup vs. Re-install

Post by Deathtreader »

Hi all,

I'll be upgrading soon............. in large part due to WITP. One of the things I'll be getting is a new, larger, and faster harddrive. For UV, do you think it is better to re-install & re-patch or just backup along with everything else & transfer to the new drive -- or is it six of one and half a dozen of the other?? Any advice would be appreciated.

When i was doing this I was advised to do a complete re-install and the back up / burning an image thing could cause problems and instability. Basically is was supposedly not the most reliable means of setting up new hard drive. Anyway a fresh start with fresh install of everything will mean your computer will run better leaving behind all the little gremlins and registry problems.
