| Darth C3P0²:
So my plan is that I want to update Windows XP to Windows 7, so if I wanted to do that, would a clean restart be where I move all the files over, or totally reset everything? I just cleared no joke 1159 viruses off of it, so I want it to be working a lot better than the virus magnet it is right now. My dad uses it for karaoke so he needs it. Any tips on how to do the clean reset? |

Wipe the HDD |
| Master Matthew²:
Backup to a hard drive. Blank the original HDD/SSD. Install Windows 7. Move Personal Files or whatever you want/need from the backup drive. there you go. (Also, I recommend either upgrading the ram, or getting an SSD. The SSD doesn't have to be big, just enough for what your father needs.) |
| Nonnel:
clear the HDD and then move your files |

My brother does have some spare hard dries iirc |
