Good afternoon guys...
Have had win 10 (freebie) since Jul 29. I now want to do a clean install of win 10.
Have had a look through the forum for info.
Is it just "save as" to let's say usb. Reinstall vsd, then open up what I saved and everything will be hunkey dorey..... every thing will be there... or is there more to it.
Thanks for any info.

I would make sure you have all the files and images you have added to your VSD site.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Once you install the new OS, everything previous is gone if you are doing a clean install. I would make sure that all your files -- VSD or otherwise -- are backed up.

Ok.. I tried this first
Did a "save as" which created a vsd file (steve) and a folder (steve_website )
I installed VSD on other device (laptop) and placed the file and folder into coffecup folder in my documents.
I opened up the vsd file with the program and all seems well. Approx 50 pages. Just one image it said it couldn't find, but now put right
Now I could scrap vsd completely from my pc. Not put on after clean win 10 install and work from it on laptop.
Seemed too easy. My concern now is when I publish from laptop. Do I need to do anything on the server, delete everything or something.
