If I have to do a complete install, would it be better to get a bigger drive, or a new computer?

ah, but now I remember: Backblaze.com\b2\hard-drive-test-data.html
They track the MTBF for the drives they get for their cloud service.

The answer is YES!
If that sounds unhelpful, consider that the only clue you've disclosed
is that you posted to a win7 newsgroup. The devil is in the DETAILS.

It's odd that inability to create new user accounts is your primary concern.

From Dec 2014 to last week, it wasn't an issue. I decided to kill
two birds with one stone: I decided it was time to "learn" windows 7.
And I just became an Officer in the Club. Decided that if I create a
new account, I can mess with windows 7, and keep Canton business
separate from my "life".

I can't remember creating a new user account since...well...forever.
Sounds like something important might be missing from your disclosure.

Consider carefully, BEFORE you start, whether the ISO you have will activate
with the license key that you have. Ditto for all programs that require
keys.

Oh,I am well aware. Some of the Software I use has upgraded to
now it is only a rental and "in the cloud." No, I do not want to do
that.
