It depends on how you got it. If you could copy folders and that was it, that would be cool. I can't think of a time when I did it that way, as I usually have a recent full install available.
However, I have seen messages during install that my version wasn't recent enough for the version I was trying to install (after replacing a dying drive with a backup) so had to do a sequential at the time. May have just been my B/U drive being too dated.

I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
