It's time to clean off Windows 7 and install it again. I do this periodically, and I've now settled on the software that will be installed... so it's time to get it done. I'm not in a rush to do this, so I'm trying to do it right
I'm going to be doing a reinstall of |Firefox - I've been using the same profile for a few years now and it's time for a clean sweep there. I'm on top of Firefox and everything there is covered.
I'm going to be doing a reinstall of Steam - I've just stuck a new hybrid 500GB drive in for it.
I've backed up all my saved games using SaveGameBackup. I've taken a list of the software I have installed from Secunia PSI. I haven't yet, but I will make a collection of drivers. I may use SlimDrivers to get this or I may grab the proper install files. Not sure what is best there.
Since it's unusual for me to be doing this without some kind of time constraint, or crippling Windows problem, or hardware installation... I thought I'd take the time to find out if anyone else has things they like to do before doing a reinstall. In case there's something I could improve on to make things smoother.
