If the Singularity comes, would uploading my consciousness be the equivalent of saving an old, cluttered hard drive? Won't a fresh install always be superior?

Define 'superior' in this context.

Also, how do you have a 'fresh install' of what's in your brain and yet maintain the experiences that make you who you are? You are kipple.
