I have Roza 17.3 in dual boot with Windows 8.1 on Lenovo G50. Since the support for Rosa is going to discontinue in 2019, I would like to upgrade Rosa while keeping Windows 8.1.
Would the last Mint release be suitable for my Lenovo G50? Is it better to update or make a new installation?
Would you please advise me on the best upgrade strategy in this case.
Regards.

New installation of Mint 19 MATE or Xfce. Definitely.

From my experience, yes, fresh install.
