You may want to keep your internet data.It you have nothing to save, and you are going to start again, the sensible thing would be to just delete everything, then format the drive and start all over again by installing your new purchase.

ZMany times it is just as well to err on the side of caution and backup and save existing drivers. You will probably find that most used for Vista will probably serve Windows 7 quite well.You will find that this piece of software: Double Driver does the job very well. And it is free !! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
