R. | Hi, Thanks for the response to everyone :) Of course I'll create a backup. I have a spare partition, so I plan to create a backup there and then do the upgrade, or the new install, I haven't decided yet. It is a developer workstation, so I can tolerate a downtime, but this machine is used 99% of times by myself, so it is quite personalized. The trouble what I want to avoid is a hidden problem, what will be realized months after the upgrade when something demands a task what worked on the old system, and don't work on the new. TIA.
