    What is a clean install


    As you can understand by my posts I am not up on things like you all are. I am very good at what I do with my computer. A cox tech told me I am the most knowledgeable PC user in my age bracket that he had ever met. Nice compliment, but I had trouble understanding instructions for a clean install, which I now understand. I am not going to clone. There is no need. I don't mind doing a reformat and reinstalling everything, and by that I mean I don't mind installing my 20 some odd games one by one, plus the other software I use. I have nothing but time on my hands and enjoy those hands being on this machine.

    Thanks I will. I think we have a long wait for 10 to be released.
