I can't recall the last time I did a clean install. Then again, I've not
had much trouble with my Macs. I just checked my preferences folder and
I files in there going back to 2007, which is probably the last time I
did a clean install. Guess I should delete some of that cruft some time
but disk space is cheap compared to the time it would take me to clean
house. If you had a mansion with a million beds, would you ever make
yours or just sleep in another one the next night?

Generally, a clean install is not required. Only if your Mac starts doing odd
things or not working properly should you do this. Some people do a clean
install for every major upgrade, but I say if you don't *need* to go through
the hassle, don't bother. In other words, try a regular upgrade first. If weird
things start happening, and no one else is having the same problems, and
regular troubleshooting (permissions repair, PRAM reset, etc) don't fix it,
only then do a clean install.

The difference between doing a update and a fresh install is that if you update
you can take all of you're apps documents and important things with you doing
the upgrade process. A clean install would mean you would have to reinstall
every thing including apps.

So, Ray mentioned something that gave me pause.
I'd love to hear pros and cons for both approaches as I'm fairly new to this
operating system and came in with Mavericks already installed.
What is the difference, besides the process of course, of updating to 10.10 and
doing a fresh install?
I know one would backup the files and such to someplace like DropBox or an
external drive but from an operations standpoint, what do I gain or lose from
each method?
I'll be very interested to follow this one.
