Keeping my UI settings on a clean Windows install

Just for clarification, I am doing a complete fresh win7 installation on a new SSD drive, so there won't be any leftover files.

What I meant was, back in the day EQ had to install stuff like the latest direct X, because your computer likely didn't have it and it needed it for EQ. Like maybe it needed version 21, but your Windows copy only came with version 19, so EQ had to install Direct X 21 elsewhere on your system (not in your EQ folder)

Today, even though EQ still requires Direct X 21 (or whatever version) ... even older versions of Windows come with Direct X 597 pre-instlaled (or whatever higher version). So there's nothing your computer needs from the EQ installer except the EQ files themselves (even though that wasn't true in the past).

So regardless you should be fine.
