Right I'm running on the window 7 RC 7100 and have a copy of windows 7 professional. I know it was recommend that you do a full clean install if using Windows XP and Vista but does the same thing go if your technically already running off of windows 7? I really don't want to go threw the whole hassle of reinstalling everything and reset my settings blah blah etc...

 
Solution
You can save your settings and files using the W7 Easy Transfer Wizard, then restore them after you finish reinstalling.
The W7 ETW works a treat, all you have to do is install W7 and reinstall your programs, then restore from the ETW file.
