I just did a clean install recently, about two weeks ago with 1909. I was having problems with my previous install of 1909, so I needed to start fresh anyway. And I also installed a different video card at the same time (moving from AMD to NVIDIA). The video card arrived in the mail, like the day after I installed Windows. Just my luck. Anyway it all worked out, as I used special software (DDU, Display Driver Uninstaller) to uninstall the AMD drivers, rebooted, and installed the Nvidia drivers.

When 2004 is officially released, I will wait a few weeks before I upgrade from my existing 1909. But I will also download the 2004 iso image first, before I allow my computer to upgrade. Just in case I run into problems during the update, I can easily clean install either 1909 or 2004, as needed.

I like to burn dual layer DVD's (DVD+R DL) with the iso files, and also copy then to USB flash drives. Gives me many options to choose, when doing an install on a computer.
