[German]Within the next days we will see Windows 10 May 2019 Update (V1903). Some people asking what's better: Upgrading from an old build to Windows 10 May 2019 Update. Or shall we use a fresh install to keep the system clean?
Well, there is a simple answer: You can choose upgrading an old Windows build in most circumstances with a feature update. This is because a feature update is always a fresh install of Windows 10, and in a later stage, the apps, settings and user data are migrated to the new install.
Dirty support trick: Windows 10 version updates don't upgrade the OS, they actually replace it and migrate your apps and settings.
For this reason, upgrading Windows 10 versions can fix weird OS-level issues and corruptions. I bet on this, and 1903 fixed a registry issue for me.— SwiftOnSecurity (@SwiftOnSecurity) 21. Mai 2019
The tweet from SwiftOnSecurity brings that on to the right point. Only in cases, where something has been damaged within the Registry, that isn't fixes, a fresh install has advantages. And there is a 2nd case: If a user has installed many programs and apps, there will be a lot of garbage on a system. A fresh install removes all that stuff from your Windows installation.
