Question I new to mac, whe you do an upgrade that you need to install llife or iwork again or it will restore your computer..
 
You can do an upgrade install or an archive install. Both will preserve your software so that you will not need to reinstall them.

Personally I prefer a clean install for new releases. Then I can also perform clean installs of all my software.
