Your first option is not possible. Preupgrade can't be used for that,
at least that is what I found when I used it to upgrade F9. It failed,
by the way, but I don't think it could be blamed on preupgrade. I
didn't do in depth investigation because I was going to wipe the

I prefer fresh installs, restoring any customized pieces on the new
system.
