Self-Help

Don't Upgrade to Windows 7

Don't get me wrong. I love Windows 7. Just don't upgrade. Instead, do a clean install. Back up all your files, format the drive, and install everything from scratch. If you already have an older version of Windows on your computer, buy the upgrade disc for 7, but do a clean install. (Here's how.) Upgrading from an existing Windows installation carries over much of the junk your computer has accumulated since you first put Windows on it and creates a whole truck load of more junk. My advice: don't do it. Always do a clean install of Windows, never an upgrade.
