Clean Re-Installs

**Pablo 54** · 07-07-2011, 10:44 PM

Does anyone else do a complete clean re-install of their OS ever so often? I usually go about once per year.

I do, every six months, if everything goes right. if not then it gets done right then and there.

I usually go 6 to 9 months depending on how busy I am

And everyone I know says i'm crazy for doing reinstalls at every year or so ( every few months on the kids machine). so i'm not the only one that noticed that windows (apparently any version) gets corrupted and screwy after awhile?

definitely know that feeling, people give me wired looks when i tell them every six months or so they need to redo the OS. My roommate is purposely violating that rule and gone for 2 years with out a fresh install on his machine. so if it goes down or gets all kinds of screwy he is on his own, and he will have to figure it out all by himself... because he refused to do it when i told him to.
