I researched in which files the specific system settings or settings for specific apps are kept. I also keep log of all apps I install or system changes that I want to keep. Obviously, all work files, documents and media are kept on the separate partition. However it's important to maintain your system with this "eventual clean reinstall" mentality. The fresh reinstall also makes system faster and saves the disk space which is important in my case, since the OS is kept on SSD. I know it may seem like a waste of time, but I tried upgrading in the past and often ran into some strange issues which were always cured when I did the fresh install of the same apps and settings. I always do a clean install whenever new OS X releases come out. What is the process of restoring apps, do I have to reinstall them manually?ĭo you guys think a clean install is worth the time, or should I just upgrade the same way everyone else does? Will I be able to do my clean install using that? Also, will doing a clean install take away all my apps? I really don't want to lose Photoshop, and I don't know if my student version has another product code to reinstall. I don't have an actual time machine, but I do back up regularly on an external hard drive. I've been seeing posts about doing a clean install, and I was wondering if this would help speed up my computer a bit? I've been experimenting with ~technical~ stuff (laughing at myself right now) ever since I joined these forums and started toying around with my Apple devices some more, but I've got a lot of stuff invested to this laptop and I'm a little skittish when it comes to messing with it.
I've gotten used to it by this point, but I'm worried that installing Mountain Lion might have the same affect. I upgraded to Lion last year and I felt like my computer got a tad sluggish.
Hello! I have a mid-2010 MBP and I'm considering doing a clean install of Mountain Lion.
