Hi, Just a note regarding this. If you plan on migrating everything back from your Time Machine backup, then it is unnecessary to do the clean install. When you install Mavericks, then migrate from the Time Machine backup, then it will bring all settings, apps and files over so that your Mac is the same as it was prior to the install, but now with Mavericks. Installing Mavericks over top of your Mountain Lion does exactly the same thing, with less steps. If you really want the clean install to be a true clean install, you can't include the restore from Time Machine backup in your process. It's OK to copy files and such, but it's better to re-install each app either from the AppStore or its installer in order to make the clean install proper.
