I agree - the Freemanizing concept sounds like a good idea. Besides - doing this upgrade might be a good way to make sure I back things up first - which is a GOOD Idea indeed. Admitedly, on my laptop - where I plan to do the 1st upgrade - I actually do NOT have that much SW installed on there...

Hard drives just stop, sometimes, or the cat pees in the power supply (bad for both, that was!) and you need to have a plan of where all your docs are backed up and where all your apps can be reinstalled from. If not, who is it you should blame for your nightmare? I upgraded an ancient machine (it has a genuine Windows XP sticker on it) from 32-bit W8 to 64-bit W10, and it was a process, and it tooks some planning and preparation, but I've got a spiffy and speedy clean install. Now using ALL its RAM, it's a much more fun machine. Dan Freeman, A Prince Among Men, spent some time as a traveling trainer, and had to install piles of stuff on a regular basis. He said that Freemanizing (tm) -- erasing everything and starting from scratch -- was the best way to eliminate whole classes of problems with performance, un-installable software, irreproducible bugs, and DLL Hell. I agree.
