Greteings Mac Rumors!
My Girl friend has a later 2010 macbook pro 15 inch, running OSX LION. It has the intel i7 with 4gb ram, 500gb (i think) Hard drive and an ati accelerated video card. Shes tired of the lag from Osx lion and wants me, to upgrade it to mavericks from the app store. She wants to keep all her settings and apps but since im still using my C2D white macbook im asking on here what i need to know before performing this upgrade from Lion to Mavericks. Wouldnt a clean install be better? And if i did the upgrade and from there wanted to do a clean install then what? im still used to the Disk being used for this. Not the new way apple computers have it with the downloading os and recovery partitions. All help is appreciated. Thanks
