This is coming from a novice on such matters, so bear with me and be as plain with suggestions as possible,lol.
Current setup is a p55 mb with a quadcore I5, 8gb of ram, a 320gb HD with windows and some other programs on it, and a 1tb drive with games, pics, and a complete backup of the system on it. Running Vista ultimate 64bit. The system has bugs in it, partially due to bad memory from before. There is two security updates from 2 years ago that Ive never been able to get to install. The system hasnt worked as smooth and as fast as I think it should, in a long time. I have the MS win7 home edition 3pack upgrade, for which I have only used once, as well as my vista ultimate discs. If I did an upgrade to vista, would it fix some of the buggy files deep in the system, or just do a visual update and leave my bugs? I know Im going to be told, clean install, but is there an easy method to saving what I have, and doing a fairly simple reinstall of those files? If I do clean install, redo the vista ultimate, or do win7 and pay to unlock pro or ultimate? Remember, consider me a noob.
