Well I am replacing my old Latitude C510 with a slightly newer Latitude D510, this immediately solved the graphics problem I was having with Ultimate Edition. I took my 160GB drive and installed it into the new machine and amazingly Ultimate Edition runs (XP of course does not) but there are somedriver issues, my wireless driver needs fixing. I was thinking I would probably have to bite the bullet and do a fresh install, but I thought I'd ask here. Can I do a sudo apt update or some such and have the drivers and firmware for the different hardware fixed, or should I just reinstall (I have backed up my home folder on an external drive)
Then the second question, if I do reinstall can I just do a simple right over with my old profile onto the new one?

Reinstall good so far! I do however need to figure out how to handle my old home folder. Is there an easy way to have my home folder on a separate partition so I can reinstall without losing the settings?

If its just the wfi then the driver needed might just need to written off the blacklist,and the old driver put in the blacklist...assuming its just loading the wrong wifi driver for your laptop.
