Thanks checked that and can see lots of help and info guides. Still not decided whether to upgrade yet or not and as you mention above usually a clean install is better for these things.

I actually contacted currys to ask what the motherboard was as it wasn't detailed in the specs. They said they couldn't tell me as its determined by PC specialist which i thought was weird.
