    Hey,

    Reinstalling fresh windows 7 worth it on XPS 15?

    Does it make a difference? Do you recommend it or not?

    Thanks.

    Always worth it :D

    At the very least, I just like to know that I have exactly what I want on my image exactly the way I want it. Isn't that reason enough? :p





    Though honestly, if you clean up the stock image sufficiently, there probably isn't going to be much of a difference between it and a new load. Probably just a couple loose files and registry settings here and there.
