I know this is a silly and common question, but what is the easiest and most
efficient way of upgrading from a version of MSDOS? I would like to use MSDOS 
ver 3.30. (currently I have MSDOS ver 3.10) I know the most certain way would
be to make a complete backup & reformatting the hard disk. Personally though, I don't like the idea of reformatting. I have heard that just doing a SYS c: with the new DOS could create problems.

I would appreciate any replies.
