Now that I've been working with Lion on my new MPB for a few weeks I think I'm ready to upgrade my Imac.
When I got the MBP I migrated from a Snow Leopard based clone. I discovered that I didn't like that so much so reinstalled a clean Lion image and migrated apps from the clone, and copied the data in from the clone but left behind networks and settings.
Here's what I'm thinking for the Imac.
Winclone and pull off my bootcamp.
Clone the Snow Leopard instance, then boot from that and clean up all the cruft I don't want to bring along old apps I don't need etc.
Do a clean install of Lion reformatting the internal drive.
Do any updates that are required for Lion
Migrate apps from the Snow Leopard Clone.
Copy in data from the Snow leopard clone.
Create Bootcamp partition.
Restore Bootcamp.
Anyone have recommendations or opinions on steps I have missed?
