Update OR Clean Install... Which one are you?

[zero-beat]

So tomorrow <3 Apple...

Are you going to just update leaving everything in tack how you like it. Or! Are you going to do a clean install?

**edit:I should have put clean install in the poll not full install** *shrug*

Normally, I would do a clean install. But because Lion is DL only, Ima do an update.

jw, idt the MAS installer even offers a clean install. It does create a recov partion tho, which you could use to re-install lion (this time clean).

How many people are actually gonna go through all that tho?

I will be doing a Clean Install and slowly move my files over from my TC when I need them...

Is it still considered a clean install if you then migrate your apps over from your previous install? I usually do this on clean installs to save time.

Just gonna upgrade. Don't really have the time to do a full clean install. I just want to turn my Mac on and for all my files to be there...

Clean install for me; my Snow Leopard install has been getting a bit bloated, and there's nothing worse than an OS upgrade that's made pointless by all the flotsam from the old OS

Clean install for me, then going to use migration assistant to get my files, but installing my apps from scratch

How can you do a clean install if Lion is download only and install over SL?

Do you build a bootable DVD from the installer?

I use a SSD so I don't want a space hogging recovery partition. Thus clean install.

 

[ryanrich]

Still undecided. With Windows I don't believe in upgrading at all and always go with fresh installs, but I think with OS X it should be alright...

Leaning towards an upgrade at first and seeing how it performs. If it's sluggish or at all bloated I'll do a clean install.

Im still lost how are we suppose to do a clean install if there is no hard copy of this software? Is there a way to download lion and save it to an External HD?

 

[GoCubsGo]

Not a clean install because like many, not sure how to do it. However, may wipe slate clean, install SL then Lion.
