Hello Dan, You Wrote: This is a question for those of you who have done both an upgrade of Lion and then a clean install of Lion. Given the different problems that have been discussed on the list, not including the new features of Lion, I'd like to know this. If any, what differences have you noticed between an update and a clean install?
Answer: I can only speak for myself, of course. I have performed multiple clean installs and upgrade on my MacBook Pro. As yet, I have discovered no discernable difference between the two methods. For a newbie I generally recommend just upgrading to Lion; it's always good to have a backup before making any major system change also. To someone who has the time and energy, I would recommend that he first clone his current install of Snow Leopard, then, perform a clean install of Lion; finally, use the Migration utility to bring the old settings from Snow Leopard into Lion.
