Upgrade/Install of Windows 2000 Pro

by jim.fader . Updated 25 years, 9 months ago

Cannot find information on whether it is better to upgrade an existing Windows NT 4.0 workstation to Windows 2000 Professional or to wipe the hard drive and do a brand new install. Some companies that I am dealing with have taken different approaches:
1) Company A is upgrading all their desktops from NT 4.0 to Windows 2000 Pro – but they are wiping all their laptops and doing a brand new install of Windows 2000 Pro.
2) Company B is wiping all their workstations and laptops and doing ne installs.

Has anyone found documentation recommending the best way to proceed. I know that if you upgrade the Winnt\Profiles directory is still used – where a new install uses the documents and settings folder instead.

Any help is appreciated.
