I installed fedora 13 from disc on a laptop. That laptop originally ran windows. I created reinstall discs for windows before I installed fedora 13. The Fedora Project website says it is best to incrementally upgrade to 17 for the best stability. I interpret that to me mean install 14, then 15, then, 16 before 17.
I want the best stability. If this is really the best way, I'll do it. It'll give me the practice to say the least. If going from 13, directly to 17 is not recommended, how about reinstalling windows first, then installing 17 from there? That way there is no older version of fedora, so there is no "jump" for 17 to deal with ( just in case the answer to this question depends on how I do it - I'm going to download the full fedora 17 dvd x86_64 iso image from the Fedora Project and burn it to a dvd).
What do you think?
Thanks again for your help.
