If all proves well, then clean, dual-boot install. No dist-upgrade since I'm running Wheezy. I prefer clean installs anyway. Less "gotchas!" And I'll keep Wheezy as a fallback system in case something goes south with Stretch since I will be replacing systemd as init and supervisor with runit. Plus, as with my original Wheezy install, I'll start with a terminal-only system and build up to X and a window manager only (Openbox) set up. I like my systems lean and mean with as little cruft as possible. Full GUI environments are a waste of CPU cycles as far as I'm concerned, I don't care how "cool" they look. Good luck with your install. B
