1. buy external hard drive

2. save everything important to said hard drive (music/photos/porn)

3. wipe old hard drive in order to wipe the old OS (operating system) <<very important step. new OS wont install correctly if old one still exists

4. install windows 7 from CD or USB drive

5. after install download drivers for everything, it will be a fresh start

6. plug in external hard drive and copy everything to your hard drive that has the new OS on it

 

 

personally i think windows 7 is better but that is all opinion. i dont think it performs any better/worse i just like the layout better

Since there was windows96.
