[QUOTE="blackice, post: 937112, member: 79035"] I only do a clean install if I’m having issues. I don’t do a lot of installing and uninstalling outside of games. On my last PC I went 4 years before a clean install, and it wasn’t due to performance. I think it’s largely unnecessary as a preventative measure, but a good step if issues crop up. edit: This applies only to Windows 7 and later. Anything prior and a fresh install made a world of difference after long periods for me. [/QUOTE]
