Hi Phil - Thanks for this. Couple of things if that’s ok, or if anybody else wants to chime in and help: Is it worth going for a clean installation, or will the upgrade to Yosemite effectively be like a new install, giving things a tweak if needed? I was also interested in what you said about

No I really did mean cmd r. and you can clean install 10.10 through there. Just be sure you format the correct drive. or you will be in big trouble. I know this from experience 3 years ago. I'm working on a how to thing on yosemite that will be released when it's done. so watch this space

Re: OS 10.10, does it still support the Reinstall option from the Recovery Partition?

No it is command R. To do a clean install you need to erase your hard disc from within the Disk Utility also in the recovery console. Remember the famous tricky part when you come to sign into the App Store though to be honest I have done this a few times now and it no longer seems tricky.
