Which is better, upgrade or clean install?
I am use to having one version installed and then updating it. Then when a new version comes a long I uninstall the old version completely and then install the newer one and then bring in my settings or adjust them like Firefox, Avast, etc.
I am on Win 10 1511 and never got around to reading up on this for going up to 1607 and then to the top at 1703. I read about downloading the ISO's here. What I am not sure of if it is easier just to upgrade to 1607 and then to 1703? Or is it just better to download the ISO of 1703, wipe my SSD out and then install 1703 cleanly?
I ask because it just seems like things of the past do not pertain to today because things got better. SSD's of old needed tweaking, today just load Win10 and run. Just wondering if upgrading is better than doing a whole system wipe then install. Also, I think I know this, but just making sure. I bought my Windows 10 when it was first released with it's key. If the wipe drive and install cleanly is the way then that same key will still work?
Thanks
