Any benefit to a clean install?

Horizons is 64bit only

Isn't 1.5 in both 32 and 64?

Afaik

Since FDEV made available the launcher/installer to those who preordered Horrizons I removed my Steam install of the game and installed it directly from FDEV now. I did that because nobody would clarify in their forums what happens with Horrizons and Steam users.

Also, I downgraded my AMD GPU drivers to version 15.6 beta and finally I have normal framerates with Ultra settings in Supercruise mode, with the latest AMD drivers I was at 15-20 fps. Tragic that they can't sort out yet what is clearly a driver problem.

The new launcher has ED-32 bit, ED:H (2.0), ED -Ships Beta (1.5) -64 Bit, and Single player combat training right?

I think the answer is yes but just to be sure :

Before installing ED:H, I will delete my steam install of ED to save some disk space. I will also delete all the config file folder (I wanted to redo my keybind anyway).
Is all the other stuff (CMDR progression, ship, friend list, etc.) server side saved by FD right ?

Yep. The only thing local is Keybinds and any changes to AppConfig.xml and GraphicsConfiguration.xml
