Always always... ALWAYS
Do a clean install if it's an option. Not just for this game because that shouldn't matter too much. Do it because it increases performance. Do it to phase out old unused programs, spyware,adware or viruses you may not be aware of.
Hell, do it to clean the registry up if nothing else.
Upgrades are for dummies, the computer illiterates.
....D-Do you mind telling me how to do a clean install? >_>. I already upgraded to w10 but I didn't know this was an option.
I may get an SSD to install Windows 10 on and do a fresh install of 14 onto that same SSD. I'll keep my HDD because they're cheaper still and Seagate is a better drive for me versus WD to store the rest of my stuff on.


decided to upgrade. it's a lot nicer than 8.1 now that the apps aren't segmented off into that metro crap.
Hell no I didn't upgrade, pointless. Sticking with windows 7 till it dies
Not everyone updates their OS to the newest thing, Windows 7 will remain supported until 2020 but by that point most people would just be replacing entire computer not just the OS.

Updated. No issues at all. Game runs better than on win8.1 on dx11. System is running great.

Just did it last night. Games run significantly better, launcher was broken for about 2 seconds, had to re-install windows media player (mostly cause I had Windows 7 Ultimate N). You can essentially turn it into Windows 7 with better performance, so why not? Also, for those who missed out on Windows 8, the cold boot of an SSD is insanely fast.
My DX11 glitch from XIV is ALMOST gone, the player and NPC names would constantly get jumbled, it still happens but far less frequently.
